Secondary Character Casting Candidates

Now that we have discussed ideas of the types of attributes we wish to find within our character for the secondary role in Breaking The 4th, we thought it would be a good idea for us to decide on possible candidates for the role. We all chipped in with possible candidates. We discussed which attributes we knew each proposed actor, and then we came to a final conclusion on two potential candidates based on the specified aspects. Now that we have 2 candidates for the role our next act was to go and hunt each actor down. As both candidates were part of our own group we didn't need to really inform them of the role. Below our the confirmed candidates for the role of the Illuminati Member who is out to stop the exposer:

Secondary Character Role:
Candidate #1- Jordan Mander
When looking to cast for this role we felt Jordan was an immediate candidate for a number of reasons. For starters he is already a man founder and member of this production team, this means he knows the background of the plot inside out. This is important because it was his idea to include the Illuminati, meaning this role is the creation of Jordan himself. We feel this is important because it means he knows exactly what we're looking for in the acting of this. Another aspect that swayed us towards proposing Jordan is his good acting skills, as we discussed before in the casting for the Main Character Role, Jordan has good acting ability after a few years of studying GCSE Drama and achieveing an B last August. He also has it all apperance wise, this is because is tall and of a big build. The one problem with Jordan is that sometime, he struggles to be serious enough for the standard we wish to achieve in this piece of media. Apart from that Jordan has it all for us, he is a very strong candidate.



Candiate #2 - Joseph Cassidy
Jose came to my mind straight away when we were in mid-discussion for this role, some would class him as the full package if they were in my position. Their are a number of different reasons for this, first of all is that he one of the three original members of the group, he's a dedicated worker and contributor to the group. He has seen the original idea grow and knows it inside out. For this reason alone he is a strong candidate as he know exactly what it is that will be needed for this role. A disadvantage of Jose for this role is that he has look hair, meaning it may sweep across the mask, this may not give of the right effect of a suspicious masked criminal, such is the one we intend to give off. But we have to take into consideration Jose's experience when it comes to acting, he spent many years studying drama throughout his education and achieved a good standard grade in August. This is just one of a number of reasons why Jose sprang to mind. Finally we see Jose as a good candidate for this vacancy because he will be willing to help, this is because he is part of the production team, and also he feels very passionately about the success of the production. For all these reasons and more we see Jose as a strong candidate for selection.
