Character profiles & Casting (practice 2 minute film opening)

Character profiles & Casting

Fizz - Buck is a long time serving member of the police force. He is a well known and appreciated member of the force. He is getting old and wants to pass on all the tricks of the trade to his son Fizz. Him and his son are so famous that they are almost above the law.
 The actor we have chosen to play Buck is Patrick Setters. We have chosen him as he is of the correct age to play the role of Buck and also has the look of an old policeman. Pat has a lot of experience handling fire arms as he was in the army for three years. This means that Pat is safe to handle props such as fire arms for the short film opening if needed.













Buck -Fizz is the son of long time policeman Buck. They have a close father son relationship and work together well to get a job done. He is a training policeman in his early 20's. Unlike his father, Fizz has no problem with acting outside the law to get the job done. Both Fizz and his father are serious about their job and won't let anyone get in the way.
 The actor we have chosen to play Buck is Jake Setters. We chose Jake as he is a successful actor within the National Youth Theatre and has appeared in many stage productions. Also as Jake is Pat's real son they automatically look like father and son, making the role of Buck and Fizz more believable. Jake has also been trained in stage combat so is safe to use prop weapons safely.


 











Ricardo Garcia - Ricardo Garcia is a well known drug dealer of Cuban Cocaine. His parents were killed in front of him by the Cuban police force when he was only 6 years old, this is why him and his grandfather (another well known dealer) immigrated to England to carry on the family business of drug dealing.  The actor we have chosen to play Ricardo Garcia is Michael Gukas, A level Drama student. He is a very talented actor and singer and has taken part in many stage productions. Michael is a very natural swagger about him which makes him perfect for the role of Ricardo.
