Cobras Malas - "Off the Clock"
Melanie "Mel" Rousseau
Working her way from Chicago, Mel has served in every dive along the way to LA. An exceptional server and impressive multi-tasker, Mel takes an almost vainglorious pride in the fact that no one she waits on ever knows how much she really hates them.
Having no intension of staying in the restaurant business, Mel's gifted writing skills are wasted on blogs covering topics from idiot customers to Battlestar Galactica while she secretly toils away on her 1,000 plus page novel. Likes: TV, dogs, cupcakes, sleeping until noon and blue eyeliner. Dislikes: hugging, the very young, the very old, the very cheap and the very dumb.
Gerrit Van Meerendonk
Fresh off his fifth season of the number 1 hit Dutch soap opera The Windmill Always Turns, Gerrit took the leap to Hollywood, after all, "making it in America is like nothing else."
Trained in classical theater, he comes armed with his Cary Grant good looks and can't lose attitude. An avid fan of house music, Gerrit is a doube threat proudly auditioning for hot dog commercials in the afternoon and reveling in the chance to DJ house parties in the evening...when he's not working at the restaurant, of course.
James "Jim/Jimmy" Sink
A comic "fanboy" and sci-fi geek, Jim has been working in restaurants to help pay his way through college. Trouble is - he graduated 10 years ago!
Born from a wealthy family of farmers and winemakers, Jim traded the certainty of a humble small town life for a chance at something bigger and better. A hopeless romantic, Jim awaits that special someone who will make all the poor choices he's made in his life worth it.
