Our actors not only look the part, but we can guarantee reliability, which should ensure us plenty of filming time. These will be updated with pictures once we start filming.
Protagonist - Tom Soulsby
Our actor for the protagonist would be someone who can pull of the look of insanity and drug use, hopefully without too much additional make-up. While Tom is not insane and has never done drugs, his face naturally has some typical features that are synonymous with these properties. The skin around his eyes is unusually dark compared to the rest of his body, and can give the illusion of bags, which is a common symptom of drug use. Tom can also pull off a convincing insane character, with eyes appearing to pop out slightly, and hair being scruffy and greasy (we may need external products to help with the latter).
Since Tom has been a friend of mine since the first years of school, I know I can rely on him without question, and he knows he can do the same with me.
Dog Walker - Alan Gomez
Our dog walker needs to be able to pull off convincing anger, and also pull off convincing concern for strangers. Alan fits the bill here. Being a male teen, anger can be shown easily, along with looking threatening. Conversely, he appears to be a fairly happy guy, who genuinely cares for his fellow man.
An interesting juxtaposition is created during the hallucination where the dog walker tells the protagonist that he's a terrible person. Alan needs to look hateful and angry, with a springer spaniel by his side. The dog-actor that we plan on using is one of the least threatening animals I've ever seen, causing a disconnect between reality and what the protagonist sees. Perhaps the dog is the only thing the protagonist sees as pure?
Due to Alan being in a group with Neve and Sophie previously, we know how well he works and can definitely depend on him to arrive for filming.
Victim/Body - Dom
The victim doesn't really need to move, act, or even show face. Therefore, our only priority was how dependable the person was. Dom is currently in a relationship with Sophie, and as such can surely be depended on.
