Actors

For our character Nick Wayne, my partner and I wanted someone with dirty blonde hair and a charming personality to fit Nicks's role. The actor we chose has the exact character profile we are looking for to represent Nick. Our character Nick is 18 years of age so we needed someone of that same age or an actor who looks 18 years old. Luckily, our actor Simon is 18 years old. As soon as we began interviewing Simon we could immediately tell that he was perfect for the role. Nick is outgoing, charming, confident, and sarcastic which were all characteristics that we saw in Simon as well. This gives us an advantage as we know Simon will have no problem playing the role during production.

Then, we needed to move on to find someone to play the role of our angry teacher, Mr. Patterson. Mr. Patterson is the character that attempts to stop Nick Wayne from skipping class and essentially calls security on him. To play this role we chose Mr. Petraitis from our school. Mr. Petraitis may not be the best actor but we know he would be very willing to help and give it his all. Not only that but the role he is playing will fit into his real daily lifestyle of teaching, therefore, making it more natural for him. 

Lastly, Mr. Petraitis gave us a suggestion for an actor to play the security guard in our film. Coincidentally, his wife is a security guard at our high school who may be willing to play the role of chasing Nick down the school hallways etc.
