Character Description
Langley is a good ole boy. Attractive and fit, he's the kind of guy that owns a ridiculous amounts of businesses in town but you would never know it. You might find him on the ranch mending a fence or at a fancy Gala donating excessively to local non-profits. He is sly, smooth, and hiding something. He's the kind of guy that will wink at you before he pulls the trigger that takes your life, and think nothing more of it. Business is business, and that's all there is to it. And for Langley, sometimes business is a little more esoteric than one might think.

Scene Description
Michael has spent the previous night enduring some mysterious, dark encounters at his property. Something strange is going on, and it has to do with a dangerous "creature in the woods" that Michael is warring with, whether he wants to believe it or not.

Michael's friend Jerome has recently suggested that he join the local Freemason brotherhood, but Michael is hesitant. In an unusual move, Grandmaster Langley of that lodge stops by to talk with Michael, knowing Michael's family ties and history in the area. Langley knows more than he lets on, and has a threatening demeanor.

This reminded me of Jeffrey Dean Morgan in pretty much all of his characters. Nice work

David,
You are very good. You have a very natural delivery and presence. Well done with the lines and character's charm. The only thing to improve would be when you tipped your hat, your hat and hand blocked your face. Just keeping that type of thing in mind will elevate your portrayal.

Nice job! Great set up. It did feel like the framing was a bit too tight and camera seemed too high so the hat kinda became a distraction every time you "dipped your head down". try lowering the camera and widening the frame to chest up rather than neck up. Some of the lines came off like you were "flirting". I know you had a female reader but the character you spoke to was male. A few too many winks. The final look to the stump was kinda over done. You did approach Michael as he was woking in his yard (Probably chopping wood,) so no need to look puzzled at the end,
