Need 25-35yr Actor to Play Lead in Thesis Film

I'm looking for an actor to play the lead in my thesis film. The character is Hugo Trance, and he is a fixture in this dark, greasy world, like each person in this cast. This is someone who is torn, beaten down by the experience of his life, by choices made that can't be unmade. He seeks salvation in art and tricks himself into thinking perhaps that he deserves it, but his downward momentum is too strong, and he too late. I love this character and think that it will be a wonderful role to explore.
I love to work with actors to discover the nuances of a role, and this is a character-based film, so natural performances are important.
Thanks,
Evan
