| a 1958 case in the works and little young lily is being cast...looks like we're delving deep in her past
Julian Bellowes: Seen in 1958. 30, Caucasian or can be mixed race (Jewish / Greek / Mediterranean or very fair skinned African-American), handsome, confident, with an easy manner tempering ambition. Julian is a visionary, a salesman with charisma. He quickly impresses successful building contractor, Harrison Kemp, with his plans for a new kind of American Dream. Successful, yet always approachable, good-hearted, not one to forget his roots, Julian has his stellar career cut short when his throat is slit and he winds up in an abandoned field, ostensibly the victim of a drifter. Only later do we learn that Julian was a black man passing for white. That kind of deception brought with it much subterfuge.
Guest Star; Harrison Kemp: Seen in 1958. 59, Caucasian. Harrison Kemp is the formidable owner of a successful construction company, impressed with young Julian Bellowes, whom he interviews for a position as an in-house ad-man. He is quickly dazzled by Julian's visionary plans for the company, later delighted when Julian joins the family, marrying his only daughter. Clearly, Harrison cares more for Julian than his own son, the rather inept, Harry Kemp, Jr.
Guest Star; Harry Kemp, Jr. (2009): 75 years old, Caucasian. He is now the Chairman of the Board of his late father's construction company. Somewhat flustered when queried by Valens and Vera, he claims that no altercation ever took place between himself and young Julian. However, later, when confronted with incriminating DNA evidence, he admits to having gotten into a brawl, but claims he had nothing to do with Julian's death. In fact, just prior to Julian's murder the two had bonded as Julian confessed to him the truth about his past. Seeking CHARACTER ACTORS RATHER THAN LEADING MEN.
Guest Star; Harry Kemp, Jr. (1958): 24 years old in 1958, Caucasian. He is the son of Harrison Kemp, owner of a successful construction company. The hapless office boy at his father's business, he is clearly jealous of newcomer, Julian Bellowes, who has been given carte blanche by his dad. In fact, he's convinced his father is "betting everything on a con artist while I'm in the stockroom sharpening pencils".
Guest Star; George Carroll (2009): 78, African-American, personable and controlled, he is the owner of a successful carpet company. Formerly under the command of Lt. Julian Bellowes while in the Army, George knew full well that Julian was passing as a white man, but claims not to have begrudged him anything. Later, we learn of George's suppressed rage, incensed when he was denied a loan by the bank in order to purchase a home in a housing development being built by Julian.
Guest Star; George Carroll (1958): 27, African-American, he approaches Julian with a business proposal, hoping to install carpeting in the homes being built at Libertyville. He's initially upset, but covers with a friendly demeanor, when Julian (who's now passing as a white man) pretends not to know him. Later, when his bank loan is disapproved, he accosts Julian, furious that he is being denied the right to purchase a home.
Guest Star; Caroline Bellowes (2009): 73, Caucasian, still lovely and refined, with "a quiet warmth that comes from wisdom and heartbreak," she is Julian's widow. Despite Julian having died fifty years ago, she still misses him. Clearly, Julian was the love of her life. She is somewhat curious as to why the authorities are re-investigating her husband's murder.
Guest Star; Caroline Kemp (1958): 22, Caucasian, a pretty young woman. She is the daughter of Harrison Kemp. Born into money and privilege, she is, nonetheless, a sweet and down-to-earth girl, obviously smitten by the gallant young Julian, whom she eventually marries.
Guest Star; Regina Reynolds (2009): 75, African-American, with a regal bearing. She stuns the authorities with the news that she was Julian's sister. She knew that Julian had come back from the service passing as a white man, and understood his reasons for doing so. However, she also knew that "Secret like that is bound to catch up with you...".
Guest Star; Regina Reynolds (1958): 25, African-American, seen with a pocketbook and pillbox hat, this is Julian's younger sister. She comes to Julian's office, demanding to speak with Julian, clearly upset. Her manner is polite but firm as she explains to the receptionist that she must speak with Julian immediately.
Guest Star; Mary Chisolm (2009): 70, African-American, ladylike and dignified. She seeks out the detectives with information regarding the stabbing of Julian Bellowes in 1958. A maid at the Metropolitan Club in 1958, she had been privy to information she only now feels comfortable sharing.
One Day Guest Star; Paul Bertoli (2009): 72, Italian-American, a vain silver fox, the son of one of Harrison Kemp's building material suppliers. He is interrogated by Vera and Miller. He admits to being miffed about Julian stealing his girl, and confesses to slashing Julian's car tires, but claims he never came close to killing Julian.
One Day Guest Star; Marlene Rasky (2009): 69, Caucasian, Julian's former executive secretary, she is impeccable, still wielding her femininity. She has nothing but good things to say about Julian. Though tense and a bit dismayed at dishing about her late boss, she tells the detectives about a certain black woman who came by the office to speak with Julian about some delicate matter.
One Day Guest Star; Younger Paul Cooper: 30, Caucasian, who resembles the actor Raymond J. Barry. Recurring Role (MUST ALSO BE AVAILABLE FOR EPISODE 23, SHOOTS March 13-24, 2009).
One Day Guest Star; Marlene Rasky (1958): 18, the rookie secretary at the construction company. She is momentarily rattled, but handles things in stride when an insistent Regina Reynolds demands to speak with Julian immediately.
Co-Star; Casey Hollenbeck: 25, Caucasian. He is an irate and strapping young farmer who accuses Julian of swindling his family out of their land. He makes a scene in front of a group of prospective home buyers.
Co-Star; Corporal Clerk: Mid 20s, Caucasian. This Corporal Clerk is processing Julian and George's paperwork at Fort Benning. He's irritated when he spies what he presumes to be an error on Julian's form. He reprimands the young soldier for having checked the "Negro" box instead of the "white" box.
Co-Star; Angie Bertoli: 58, Italian-American. He is a supplier to Harrison Kemp's contracting business. He is the middle of a heated discussion with Kemp about getting a cut on the sales.
Co-Star; Joy: 51, Caucasian, with dark hair. She is Caroline and Julian's daughter. She never knew her father and was born shortly after his murder. A low-key, charming woman, she wonders if there was some misconduct during the initial investigation.
Co-Star; Paul Bertoli (1958): 21, Italian-American, handsome and dashing, seen at a festive black tie party in the Kemp home. He is keen on Caroline, not pleased when Julian hones in.
Co-Star; Young Lily Rush: 6. Must resemble Kathryn Morris. Recurring Role (MUST ALSO BE AVAILABLE FOR EPISODE 23, SHOOTS March 13-24, 2009). Co-Star.
