Full Synopsis
In this sci-fi drama, Nicholas Reavers, a scatter-brained time traveler from 2020,
married Rita Davison back in 1980. Now it’s 1985, and he receives a visit from Roberto
Ramirez, his friend from 2025. He informs Nick that the technology company that sent
him to the past has agents coming to arrest him for breaking the Non-Interactive
Observer Clause. Not knowing what else to do, Nick runs through time trying to avoid
arrest. Later, finding himself between a rock and a hard place, he must make a decision
that will determine his family& #39;s future.
Character Biographies
Nicholas Reavers: (30-35) Male, dark hair, medium build, fidgety
He was selected to test LEAP’s new time travel device and record the events of
the past without interfering with them, but couldn’t help himself when he saw a woman
in need (Rita). Everything he does now revolves around trying to be a good husband to
Rita. When problems arise, he would rather try every solution possible than ever give
up. He’s hyper, fidgety, and restless. Wears 80s casual.
Roberto Ramirez: (Mid-30s) Male, Hispanic, stocky build, serious
The head of LEAP’s time travel department and a friend of Nick’s. He’s a man
who honors the rules. Should a rule be broken, there are consequences–regardless of
the individual. He has a no-nonsense attitude and does not sugarcoat anything.
Deadpan, serious. Wears business professional.
Rita Davidson: (30-35) Female, Hispanic, short hair, petite, relaxed, positive
Nick’s wife. She was in an abusive relationship before meeting Nick, but she
would never speak ill of the man who hurt her. She has a big heart and always puts
other people before herself. She’s calm and cool all the time. Wears 80s casual.
Agent Twisselman: (35-40), Male, tall, slender build, short dark hair, irritable
One of two agents sent to arrest Nick. Lives in a constant state of frustration,
especially when it comes to his partner, Agent Twaddle. He just wants to do his job.
Wears his agent uniform.
Agent Twaddle: (35-40), Male, tall, slender build, short hair, dumb
One of the agents sent to arrest Nick. He’s not all that smart and has a bad habit
of messing everything up. He doesn’t mean to cause problems, but he does. All the
time. Wears agent uniform.
**Director: (45-50) Male, short, heavy set, nervous
A sweaty man in 1890 scared of confrontation but forced into it. Wears a suit.
**Actress: (30-35) Female, tall, slender, uptight

A prima donna 1890 actress who does not accept no for an answer. Wears a
fancy dress and jewelry.
**Waitress: (45-50) Female, dark hair, slender
A diner waitress who has seen it all. Nothing phases her, but she loves her job.
Wears a dress and an apron.
**Old Rita: (70-75) Female, Hispanic, short hair, petite, relaxed, positive
The wife of Old Nick. She’s happy, kind, and never in a bad mood. She will find
the positive in every situation. Her age has not dimmed her beauty even a little bit. She
wears a simple dress.
**Old Nick: (70-75) Male, dark hair, medium build, fidgety
The husband of Old Rita. Even in old age, Nick still has lots of energy and a
scatterbrain. He’s just happy to be with his wife- who is his entire world. He wears jeans
and a t-shirt.

LMT is happy to announce Julia Rose Hartman has joined our agency.  A beautiful product of New York City (born and raised) where she was represented by Dulcina Eisen Associates, and after a brief layover in LA with MSA, she’s now in Dallas and we’re very excited to have her under our care.  She’s had much success in the theater world having been in Lady M and also played Ulla in The Producers.  She has her eye on a role on The Chosen locally but would head back to NYC for a spot on Law & Order SVU.  We can’t wait to see what happens!  Welcome!

New to us but not new to the industry, welcome to LMT -  T.C. Stallings.  A native of Cleveland, Ohio, T.C. now lives in Fort Worth, Texas.  You’ll notably recognize him from his lead role as Tony Jordan in Alex Kendrick’s number one box office hit, “War Room”.  What T.C. remembers fondly as his most challenging role was portraying Cecil in the 2002 movie based on a true story, “No Vacancy”.   He’s used to chewing up the scenery on the commercial front having principal roles in national commercials with Sleep Number, SoFi, Golden Corral, and the NFL. He has his eyes set for a role on 911 or even The Rookie.  But, who wouldn’t want to rub shoulders with Angela Bassett??  We don’t mind it took you 21 years to join our agency, all that matters is that now you’re home.
