Fiction Adaption: Character Design

I want to give a clearer image of the type of actors i am looking for in terms of visuals.

Jack - Jack is an average looking boy - not ugly, not handsome. He dresses in correct school uniform, follows the rules and does what he's told. 

Although this actor is a little young i think his image is fairly well suited. 

Freddie highmore is a little older and has a good look for the part also. I think the braces make him look a lot younger which is something to consider. 



Cal: Cal is a good looking but tough guy. I want him to appear physically quite scary but also have that air about him that is this boy next door type. 


Actors like Iwan Rheon and Christian Cooke have that darker side to their good looks but maybe not the physical presence. A younger vin diesel type may work for this role.

After all he is a leader and needs to be instantly recognisable, perhaps a skin head or similar may work well for this role. 

As for other gang members i want them to be typical of a gang and have that pack look to them. Almost anonymous compared to the leader.



Stay safe,

Helen
