In my screenplay (a musical set in the 1960's); I have an athiest character with a stutter and rather low self-esteem, limiting what he says and how much of himself he reveals to others.
I was thinking that it would be interesting seeing him break the fourth wall a couple times so that the audience better understands him and as the character is an atheist in a Christian film, he is trying to fight against the film itself.
Examples below:

Examples below:
- When he is singing he doesn't stutter so when he sees other characters are beginning to end the song, he become distressed and tries to make them continue so his stutter doesn't come back.
- When he feels like the camera is trying to follow him, he glares at it and walks away.
- We can hear his thoughts on certain issues.
- He also says how he doesn't want a scene to go like this.
