Hello all, yet another rewrite and I have this O.S. character that delivers a line in my pilot but we won't see him in person for another episode or two. What character name should I give him in the script at this point?
Many thanks in anticipation.

I’m doing the exact same thing right now. I use MALE VOICE (O.S.)

what role does the OS character play and who is the OS character talking to? If they show up at some point, you can give the character a name a use a sentence to describe who they are.
Hi, David Barrett. What Jim and Abram said.

Thanks, I've reworked it now to show them in the scene (even though they don't appear again until ep 2/3) therefore giving it the full name and description treatment.
You're welcome, David Barrett.
