Our three heroes are officially in over their heads.

After accidentally killing a rhinoceros that belonged to Pablo Escobar (yes, that Pablo Escobar), Charlie, Sam, and Marcus must scramble to replace the beast—or face the wrath of a very-much-alive crime lord.

Act Two turns the volume up on absurdity, as the guys tumble through hallucinogenic jungle rituals, cartel parties, DEA showdowns, a full-on rhino heist, and one unexpected monologue that might just save their lives.

Starring:

• Tim Friedlander as the Narrator
• Jim O'Heir as Charlie Bleeker – the neurotic, reluctant hero
• Darin Toonder as Marcus – the chaos agent with a trust fund and a dream
• Jeff Bergman as Sam – loyal, closeted, and occasionally clairvoyant
• Wayne Lopez as Pablo Escobar – the crime lord-turned-cheesemaker with a soft spot for rhinos
• Andrea Savo as Lucia – a badass Colombian cop who’s more Indiana Jones than law enforcement
• Keylor Leigh as Audrey – Charlie’s sharp-tongued, no-bullshit ex-wife
• Lynette Coll as Maria Chung Escobar – Pablo’s power-tripping wife with a hair-trigger temper
• Dustin Green as Agent Knowles – a DEA cowboy with a chip on his shoulder
• Holden Myers as Agent Martinez – the sidekick who really just wants empanadas

Written by Craig Goodwill & Sam Ruano, Pablo’s Rhino is a tequila-soaked thrill ride full of midlife panic, monkey knife fights, and unexpected heart.

Charlie Bleeker’s life is unraveling—his writing career is stalled, his ex-wife is a cop who can't resist pulling him over, and his teenage son views him as a failure.

When his reckless childhood friend Marcus proposes a dubious investment opportunity in Colombia, Charlie reluctantly agrees, setting off a chain of events that spiral hilariously out of control.

From entanglements with a reformed cartel leader-turned-pastry chef to mishaps involving Pablo Escobar's pet rhino, Act One of Pablo’s Rhino introduces a midlife crisis comedy where absurdity reigns and every decision leads to deeper chaos.

Starring:

• Tim Friedlander as the Narrator
• Jim O'Heir as Charlie, the beleaguered writer seeking redemption
• Darin Toonder as Marcus, the thrill-seeking trust-fund playboy
• Jeff Bergman as Sam, a man embracing his true self amidst the madness
• Wayne Lopez as Pablo Escobar, the notorious crime lord with a surprising new passion
• Andrea Savo as Lucia, the sharp-witted detective entangled in the chaos
• Dustin Green and Holden Myers as DEA agents Knowles & Martinez, whose investigative efforts are as misguided as they are comical
• Keylor Leigh as Audrey, Charlie's no-nonsense ex-wife who keeps him grounded
• Lynette Coll as Maria Chung Escobar, the formidable power behind the throne

Written by Craig Goodwill & Sam Ruano, Pablo’s Rhino is an over-the-top, fast-talking, tequila-soaked thrill ride that blends midlife crises with international escapades, delivering a story as unpredictable as it is entertaining.
