Can play 40s. Any ethnicity. Curmudgeon, uptight, and obsessed with HOA rules. A tennis enthusiast who prides himself on maintaining order and appearances, though his control slips when confronted with the chaos of a crashed spaceship and an alien houseguest. Snarky and dramatic, he’s the neighbor who both irritates and entertains. Must like dogs.
Can play 50s-60s. Mexican American. Overbearing, dramatic, and guilt-tripping, yet deeply loving. She’s the kind of mom who calls constantly, sometimes about trivial things, sometimes dropping crucial family history without realizing its importance. She switches between English and Spanish, though Cooper never learned the language fully. Warm, funny, and sharp-tongued, she is a grounding presence from afar.
