SPIKED EGGS PODCAST (Season One - Holiday Pilot)
Joe Ciaramitaro for "Tiny" Tim Cratchit
Role: Minor
Payment: $20 USD flat rate
Tiny Tim - A repeat customer of Santa and her loansharks. Probably in his late 30s, English. He's usually a little behind in his payments, but on this occasion, he's over six weeks late. He's an office clerk with a family, barely getting by. He's a decent man who tries to provide for his family and has turned to loansharks in a mistaken attempt to stay afloat. He does have a bit of a drinking and gambling problem. He's also understandably afraid of Santa and her gang.
"Tiny" Tim has been summoned to the loanshark offices of Santa Nicola and Co. Santa's lieutenant Mary Frost (Frosty) confronts Tim. Tim is shaken, but trying to reason with her.

TIM: "I'm begging you, Ms. Frost. Give me another week. Two at most. That's all I need. Please ! I needed the cash for my kids. Christmas presents."
(Frosty asks Tim if he's taking advantage of her) TIM: " No! Never! I would never take advantage of you, Ms. Frost. I just don't have the money."
(Santa Nicola later joins the conversation and asks Tim if there are any problems) TIM: " Well, now that you mention it, I'm having a little problem getting the money together."
