The past few days I've been in touch with 2 actors to see if they're interested in playing my antagonist Armitage Shanks. Hugh Gormley is a Northern Irish actor who I met while working on a short film called "Short Back And Sides". I considered Hugh for a few reasons but one is his command of the camera. He gives presence to a scene and it is vital I have that for Armitage. He has worked on big productions like Love/Hate and was also in Saoirse Ronans new film Brooklyn. We are still in talks about the role.
The second actor I have thought of is Barry Dobson. I meet him also on "Short Back And Sides" and he really impressed me with his role. Barry also has an English accent which might add a nice bit of flavour for the film and for the character. We too are still in talks.
