Dale is a late 50's plus size lady who is the "Non-Jewish, Jewish Mother" type... or a young, hip grandma with a backbone. She is the salt of the earth character who isn't afraid to call out her best friend when she crosses the line. Think Brenda Blethyn in Vera or Melissa McCarthy's mother. She will play the supporting roles that add warmth, humour, or a hint of caustic attitude to the scene. The favourite teacher who knows how to dish tough love with a velvet glove. The therapist who reaches out to slap sense into you...but then gently steers you in the right direction. The mother who isn't afraid to nudge her adult child from the nest when the time comes. The nosy neighbour who isn't afraid to stand up for what she believes is right. The motherly detective who supports the team and provides insights only someone of her age and experience can provide. She's the aunt who slips you $20 when your mom isn't looking.
