Thank you Don, thats what I originally did but the more I thought about it the more I started thinking it might be wrong. Thanks again!
Thing is, AJ, that there is the possibility of overthinking it... something I've been guilty of far too many times this week in my life.

Cheers!

Think of it this way ...

You're introducing 2 characters ... one a persona and the other a character ... put each in CAPS when they are first introduced.

I understand that the first time you introduce a character in the script they should be in CAPS. However what if you are introducing the character...say on a magazine cover and through the eyes of another character. Would you still CAPS the character at this point or wait until they are actually present in a scene etc.Huh

Thanks !
