Clement is a homeless, African-American (written as a Jamaican-born immigrant) who, in Ben's darkest moment, has become a close friend. He's extremely eccentric, certainly over the top, and seemingly lost in a pool of addiction and homelessness, often speaking in a thick Jamaican Patois, usually in a carefree and unknowable manner. However, this is simply a facade as Clement holds immense wisdom, compassion and emotional intelligence. Simply put, Clement is Ben's "Merlin", or guiding figure trying to lead him to a better place both literally and emotionally.
The role will allow the actor to perform something incredibly eccentric with a meaningful core, initially appearing as comic relief but in reality is far more.
Despite the role being written for an African-American male, the Producers are willing to alter the character if the story requires it, so will accept any and all interest in the character! We would like to see your interpretation, even if it is not what is written.
