Lou Walters As Danny

Danny: 20 and 50 years old male. "Danny" is another wanderer. He is the
antagonist of our story. Due to his jealousy of the relationship between Joe and
Saint he takes pleasure in taunting and getting the better of Saint. In the end his
actions are much more aggressive and destroy the connection Saint and Joe have.

Danny makes fun of Saint. Doesn't he look like a bully? Lou Walters hails from Warminster, Pennsylvania. He feels blessed (no pun intended) to have worked on this project with such an incredible cast and crew. In honor of this film, Lou donated his earnings to House the Homeless, a nonprofit organization. We need more people like Lou in this world.

Uncle Tom: white male 40-70 Uncle Tom is that father of Joe, the protagonist of

riverbed. Through flashbacks (via Joe's perspective) we find out that Uncle Tom
killed his wife, Joe's mother, in a jealous rage after finding out that she was seeing
another man. The film centers on the relationship of Uncle Tom and Joe and then
draws similarities and difference from the relationship between Joe and Saint.
