-DESCRIPTION-

Lawrence is a bit of a pessimist. He's believes that bad things will always happen, and quite a few of them have already happened to him. Only, instead of moping around and feeling sorry for himself, he gets angry. He doesn't fly off the handle at random, though. He just lacks the patience that some of the other members have. Lawrence has the tendency to become very confrontational, and often has to be corrected by a member in the group that has higher authority. He usually listens. Even though he is aggressive, and can be violent in a threatening situation, he isn't a stupid man.

He's an excellent hand-to-hand fighter, his style being a combination of boxing and street fighting. It's clear that he's been trained, probably for a number of years. He delights in it. Fighting is his craft, in form and in execution. Lawrence actually prefers a fair match on even ground to pummeling in some random's face, but when the job needs to get done he's not going to turn it down.

-VOCAL DIRECTION-

Lawrence is in his 20's, but there's not much youth to his voice. He is very serious, and he's one of the few younger members that actually realizes just how grim the situation can turn. He is kind of a grump, but it's a product of caution and awareness. Since he has such a short fuse, he can quickly go from slightly annoyed to downright pissed. Whenever there's an active conflict, his voice is much more commanding. Be prepared to deliver a fair amount of loud lines. His part also has a lot of shouting. 

You don't have to audition with improv, but I'm just going to make a quick note about it with Lawrence. Writing out an entire, fast-paced shouting match that has general phrases like "shut up" or "get the fuck down" or "drop your weapons" can sometimes sound forced, and Lawrence is going to have a part in the script that's like that. It's very likely that I'll just give a few pointers to the cast actor and let them shout however they like (that's the improv bit). So, if you want to showcase your ability to do that in your audition, go right ahead, that's probably a good idea. However, it's not mandatory, and not doing it in the audition isn't going to hurt your chances of getting the role.
