Casting Replacement for Black Graffiti: A Dock Ellis Story (workshop production)

Dock Ellis (African American, Male Presenting, Mid to late 30s)

Seeking an actor to play former professional baseball player Dock Ellis. Preferably, we’re seeking someone tall, with an athletic build. They must be charming and charismatic, and able to command a room without raising their voice (but not be shy to do so when necessary), while also able to communicate deep, emotional sadness at the drop of a hat. General knowledge about the fundamentals of professional baseball is a plus, but not required.
