Actors we would like to use within our Film

One of our exercises was to act within our chosen company (independent) as if we were to cast our entire film, and to create a short paragraph about the characters.

Alex smith: 

Alex is within his early twenties, medium height and has a rough edge look. Acting ability is required and no accent needed.  

To play this part, we would choose,  Luke Treadaway, because of his work within characterisation would then be at ease to become 'Alex Smith.'
Physically also, Luke would be able to pull of the 'Grunge' look to the point where we, as directors would want the character 'Alex' to look.  

Amy steel-man: 

Amy is the female lead and like character Alex, is within her early twenties, medium height and weight, and also has a calm, motherly look. Acting ability is required and no accent is needed 

To play this part we would choose, Jenna Coleman as her acting carer, mostly known as 'Clara' she shows compassion, and independence that we would like to see within the character. She also, physically shows the characteristics that we are looking for.

Sarah smith: 

Sarah is Alex's mother and only appears in the flashbacks later on in the film. Medium height and weight and must resemble character Alex. Acting ability is required with no accent 

To play this part, we would choose, Miriam Margolyes because she, physically suits the character. With her other roles, including a professor at Hogwarts, with her acting carer and the type of roles she plays, we believe that she would be able to become 'Sally Smith.'

 David smith: 

David is Alex's father and appears later on in the film as a figment of Alex's imagination. Actor should be of medium/large sizing with acting ability, no accent is required. 

To play this part, we would choose, Keith Wickham as we believe, he could portray the character 'David Smith' to the capacity that we would like to have. Also with his work within Children TV, for example, his role of the voice of the 'Fat Controller' in Thomas the tank  engine, if we were to use an accent, or a differ in voice, the actor would not struggle.
