To find actors for my film, I put up a listing on Mandy.com. I am paying for their travel and food but I did state people should be Yorkshire based.
I found an actress for the Stranger quite quickly. I liked her showreel and felt that she had the right demeanour for the character. So I emailed asking her for an audition clip and she sent it back. She was then confirmed quite quickly, and costume details were given to start work on that.
The Wanderer was much harder to find. Most people who applied were from London which is just unrealistic for what I can afford. I emailed a few people who I thought looked the part however they either didn't respond, weren't willing to take time off work for a student project or were just slow to respond.
In the end, I asked Liam Shevill if he would be willing to be my actor again. He played the character in my COP film and did a very good job and he does look the part for the role. This was a massive relief and weight off my mind. Though I originally wanted a more professional actor in the role since it would be their specialty, I am confident Liam will do a great job.
