After much hard work we have a short film green-lit. We have crew, location, equipment, screenplay and 3 out of 4 actors ready to go but we still need a leading man. As the scriptwriter, I've been asked to compose a shortlist of actors that I can envision playing the leading man. I've wracked my brain this weekend but could do with a bit of fresh thinking.

This is where you guys come in.

The character has been around the block. He has been there, done that and killed people who got in the way. He is handsome, yet clearly can handle himself - so no pretty boys. Think Daniel Craig, Gerard Butler and maybe Clive Owen.

Preferably British (as Americans would be harder to get over here), late 20s to mid-30s playing range.

Any level of fame from Hollywood to Hollyoaks. While I doubt we'd get Daniel Craig, big actors sometimes do grass-roots films, so don't hold back, although, the more unusual or lesser known the more interesting. Thanks for any suggestions!
 
:D
Thanks for the suggestions guys! I've got a decent shortlist together now, so all contributors are much appreciated






Thanks Broadie, I'll bear you in mind! For the lead they want to try and get a household name first, and the three other roles have all been taken up at the moment but I'll e-mail your trust if something comes up.


Scam: thanks for the offer; very kind. I'm pretty sure an editor is on the project already but I'll let the director know about you. No idea what cameras they're using.
 
Ah right. I think you're confused. Grading is not editing! Ask your editor if he's grading it as well - there's a certain amount of stuff he can do I'm sure.

These are the Colourists I work with day in day out; I have access to the kit and their help :)

Yeah, I'm not knowledgeable about this side of things at all! I've heard people talking about our editor and grading in the same breath so I assume he's going to do it. I'll mention you though and get back to you if they want you :D
