Charlie

Charlie is the main protagonist in the film "Down the Road". He is portrayed by Luke Tarzian.

Personality
Charlie lives in the small town of Clearwood. He is the most driven of his friends, and as such his determination alone may have been the ultimate catalyst for Kevin's return.

He also seems to be the main leader of his friends, the main source of their actions and journeys.

The Search for Kevin
Kevin disappeared into the woods of Clearwood on June 23. During the month long search, Charlie collected many of the articles that were printed on the disappearance. It is assumed that after the disappearance he became somewhat obsessed with the disappearance and the mystery behind the woods. He also reveals to Danny that the loss of their friend was a sadness like he'd never experienced before. Stating in the pier scene, "It just feels like... like the whole world has suddenly been tipped to one side.  Nothing feels right anymore."

After the search ended, Charlie began his own quest to find Kevin (or whatever happened to him). Charlie's determination to find Kevin ultimately succeeded, and led him to meet Detective Marc. He was also confronted by Chris (the kid in the woods) and uncovered Chris' relationship to Marc, both of whom would've never reunited otherwise.

His search also gave Danny enough footage to make a documentary called "Wirkshire", which presumably garnered Danny his first award.

After everything that went down, no one still truly knows what happened to Kevin, or why he disappeared. However... Charlie has his suspicions.
