My manager wants a character breakdown sheet. Honestly, I've never seen one. Anyone have any suggestions where I can find some examples on-line so I can see the format, etc.?

Ask your manager for examples ... they are the one asking and they must have something specific in mind.

Example of character breakdown: Paul, 40s, jobless, divorced, needs a new outlook on life Anne, 20s, young, hungry, aggressive, ready to go at any moment Ted, 50s, successful, rich, owns a company, ladies love him, cocky
CHaracter Sheet should tell who the character is NOW. What they are dealing with, motivation going forward, etc. But a manager should be able to tell you what they are looking for.
I've never heard of a manager asking for a character breakdown sheet. Either you have WAY too many characters for him to keep track and the script is confusing, or he's not a great manager.
He may want a marketing-angled document rather than a story understanding document. Why would an actor want this role, etc. May want to see your pitching ability or something.
Thanks Jason. yes, she is asking for the breakdown to include in a press pack as a follow up to the pitch.
