Age: 36

Occupation: Actor

Note: This is a primary character.

    Ever since he was a young boy in England, Ethan's mother pushed him into being an actor. She signed him up for acting classes and forced him to audition for television ads and stage productions at community theaters. Initially, Ethan hated it. He resented his mother for several years for forcing him to do something he had no interest in doing. He resented his father for not stopping her. He was even ready to run away from home until he read the script of Romeo and Juliet, in which he was playing Romeo at age 14.

    Ethan became fascinated with the works of William Shakespeare, particularly his stageplays, and sought further acting lessons in order to better emulate the performances from Shakespeare's lifetime. At age 21, he played the lead in Macbeth, his favorite of Shaekspeare's work, and his stellar performance caught the attention of an audience member who was casting for an independent film. Ethan agreed to play the lead in this small production, and after the film was distributed internationally he was getting letters from various executives and casting directors from the United States who wanted him in their feature films.

    After moving to Los Angeles permanently, Ethan was acting more than ever, though now only for film and occasionally television. Women all over the US fell in love with him, and critics were baffled by how talented of an actor he was and how wide his range was. He dated a high-profile celebrity actress here and there, but became quickly disenfranchised by the extravagence of SoCal High Society life by the age of 30. He still went to the occasional party and dated a few women over the years, however, if only just to keep himself relevant and keep getting work.

    A few years later, after a visit to see his family back in England, he ended up having to share a cab with a twenty-something filmmaker on the way to his apartment from the airport. After talking for awhile in the middle of a traffic jam, Ethan realized that this guy was bound to be his first real friend in the country. And that guy's named was James Greene.

    While James and Ethan never worked together on a professional level, the two regularly hung out around LA and became good friends. Now, Ethan is starring in Serena Matthews' new film Birds of a Feather, and production is underway.

    Ethan is the kind of guy who prefers a night in with a couple close friends as opposed to big parties with loads of people. He has a bit of an ego, but is surprisingly down-to-earth in his views of relationships and people. His only real friends in LA are James and Tycon, and he habitually hangs out with them whenever they're available. He lives in a nice house in Beverly Hills, drives expensive cars, and has many tailored suits, but also donates thousands of dollars to various charities every month, feeling that the large amount of money he already has is starting to change him as a person, and not in a good way.
