We originally planned to have four characters but have reduced to three. This was to ensure we remained within the restrictions of an opening and didn’t complicate things or exceed the time limit. Our characters are as follows:

Interrogator- 

Name- Dan 

Age- 29

Profession- Dealing with criminals involved in cases such as theft, murder and government matters, he uses smart techniques and strategies to get as much information out of people as possible. 

Likes- sports and puzzles 

Dislikes- disloyalty and dishonesty

History- He spent 6 years working in crime, and freelancing for various secret societies. He's only child, and left home at the age of 16

Personality traits- He's quick thinking, and has a good sense of humour however is not afraid to use violence and less approved of methods to get what he wants, he can be quite sneaky and chooses his loyalties carefully 

Influences- His various jobs in detective work 

3 words- Funny, sly, smart

We chose Charlie Frazer to play the role of "interrogator" as he suited the part physically and he has had acting experience. He also has a GCSE in drama and is currently doing a drama A-Level therefore he will be used to following a script and acting as any given role. In the interview, he came across as confident, calm and quite willing which is very important, we needed him to fit the character description and play the role convincingly. 

Criminal-

Name- John 

Age- 26

Profession- He's the security guard overseeing all matters related to the information the others are attempting to get from him.

Likes- Adrenalin fuelled activities and fitness. 

Dislikes-  Being second best at what he does.

Personality traits- Loyal to a fault, risk taking and curious 

Influences- The people around him when he was younger and the life he lives in order to survive 

3 words- Intelligent, determined, self-righteous  

We decided to choose Tom Coath for the role of the "criminal" due to the fact he also has a background in acting and has a GCSE in drama. He is currently doing drama as an A- Level and was chosen because we found his acting mysterious, original and expressive. The way he worked fitted effectively with the chosen character brief and the fact that he was confident and active meant that he was not afraid to take risks when filming. 

Detective- 

Name- Jess 

Age- 21

Profession- Undercover detective 

Likes- Fitness, succeeding in what she does, solving problems 

Dislikes- Loosing, rudeness, lying

Personality traits- Determined, adventurous, curious, forward thinking

Influences- Her boss, her childhood and her previous job as a spy 

3 words- Determined, observant, honest 

For the role of "Detective", we cast an A-Level drama student called Meghan. She had a background in drama having done LAMDA grades as well as a GCSE in it. Due to this, she has played a variety of roles so we cast her in the hopes she'd adapt well to the character.
