Freddy is an American con artist. He's brash, crude and obnoxious, but charming in much the same way that a five-year-old is charming. He's fun. He's in need of a mentor, but what he lacks in skill he makes up for in sheer joy in the game.
In the movie versions, he was played by Marlon Brando and Steve Martin. On Broadway he was played by Norbert Leo Butz, who won a Tony for his work.
Freddy has seven numbers, including the most ridiculous power ballad ever performed in public. He needs some good strong F's and G's. He also spends about a third of the show in a wheelchair, so some chairing skills will be needed. As a bonus, he gets to play one scene as a completely insane character.
