Character List

As a group, we have discussed on many occasions who we should cast in our thriller. The roles that need actors include three bullies who should be intimidating individuals and ideally people with some sort of experience acting, and for Ethan, the victim of the bullying, we wanted someone who was not physically intimidating and could act as well. In the end we cast Jake Pratt, who has experience acting on multiple TV shows and has also performed on the West End, and so we look forward to working with him.

For the three bullies, we decided that one of them should be female, as we think that this would add another layer to the dynamic of the bullies, as it would be even more humiliating for Ethan getting bullied as a girl would be bullying him. We have even decided to make the female bully the main bully who verbally abuses Ethan the most and to act as the ringleader, as we think this would make him appear even more vulnerable.

For the role of the female bully we have cast Elina Saleh, as we believe she will perform the role well, as she is good at acting and is keen to be involved. For the other two bullies we have cast two male A level Theatre Studies students as this means we know that they will  be able to be professional on the day, and they will have had experience in performing.

Overall, we are happy with the casting and look forward to shooting our thriller with them.
