Gonna go with my former legend, retired, depressed, closet gay screenwriter. It'd be cool to play a fish out of water type character as he see's the mass changes made to the film industry over the decades.

Will get my CS up monday evening (GMT) :)

Also, my character comes out of retirement for the director, is there any chance my character could have any connection to your character? Doesn't have to be a blood relation. Could be I met him in a bar once or something and he was very convincing.
