Improv Characters

Finished my entry level improv class today.  Good time.  Not sure if I'll continue.  A bit pricey and not sure what ultimately I'll get out of it other than being decent at improv for a short while.  Surprised at how much energy it saps to perform, even for only a little bit.  Some of my characters from later in class:

Hank the elderly helicopter pilot expert with an injured back.  Originally from Texas and now living in Southern California, Hank learned to fly birds in the army and then worked for news stations most of his adult life.  He is gruff, no nonsense, and can talk all day about different kinds of helicopters.

Gianno the positive and forward thinking pot farmer.  He is confident and good with ladies.  He spent time in jail for selling pot he stumbled upon in the forest.  He also was beaten by the other farmers whose pot he stole, but he harbors no ill will.

Hugh the youngest partner ever at Orrick, Orrick, and Waldman who became obsessed with washing his hair and fixed up a shower in his office and later bought a shampoo factory, causing him to go bankrupt.

What can I say...it was all on the spot improv!
