I’m writing the pilot for a Crime/Mystery/Thriller.
When we first meet the lead detective character - he is depressed about not being able to work. Not at his best, but all of that is about to change for him - sort of.
I want to describe that (normally) he’s a calm/confident/wise etc... So that the person reading my script will know how the detective is supposed to act when the time comes for him to shine.
How do I do this? Or doshould I not describe how he normally is until he is generallynormal?
Thanks!
