Lead Actor Job in 'Last Train Home', Female, Age 28-45 - Mary

30s. A diner waitress and mother worn thin by a job that grinds her down, a husband who just left, and a life where nobody really sees her. Mary keeps it all behind a pressed uniform and red lipstick, answering every insult with "Okay." until one night at a fog-bound train station the composure finally cracks. The role moves from quiet, contained exhaustion to raw terror and, finally, to a still, devastating acceptance. Mary is in nearly every scene, so we need an actor who can carry a film with very little dialogue and a lot of interior life.

Content: horror themes including implied violence and the death of a child, strong language, and intense emotional scenes. Physical work includes running in heels on a wet platform and night shoots with fog and water effects (all coordinated safely). No nudity.
