The Actor

In our piece, we need an actor who can present certain things which will help clearly show the type of character we have in mind. To do this, the actor needs certain qualities, the first and most important quality being that they have to look like an everyday teenager. This is crucial as the piece is going to be focusing on a young person trying to survive and if we make the character seem they only belong to one specific social group, it will be hard to relate to. Another quality needed is for the character to look fairly sinister. By this, I don't mean in such a way that they look evil, but instead in a way that makes them look like they have been through a lot and has maybe seen some things that you wouldn't want to. This will help emphasise the whole post apocalyptic feel. With these sort of qualities in mind, we then had to find somebody who fitted this role as well as somebody who would actually be up for playing the character. So far we have the option of two people, these are me and a friend called Daniel Cadoret. Both me and Daniel would fit this role as we do not fall under any physically distinctive social group so we can be related to easily and we can both look sinister if we have to! At this point in time, we are probably going to get Daniel to act purely so I can focus on the direction of the product. Underneath are a few key features about me and Daniel which can help determine who is better for the role.
