ACTORS LIST AND CHARACTER PROFILES

I've decided to create this post to give you an insight on which actors will be playing which roles in our film and also a quick briefing of each character and their back story. We have assigned each character with an actor and i have attached an image of each character below to:

Johnny Teece (Michael Foreman)
Johnny Teece was brought up in the streets of Nottingham; with no father around he took it upon himself to fend for him and his mother. Johnny has always had a rough and ready attitude that managed to lead him down the wrong paths. Johnny had a thirst for crime and always knew he'd make himself rich one day through it. Johnny became invovled in a drug gang as a teenager and eventually worked his way up to the top; he is now the most respected drug baron in the whole of the UK. Money, power and respect all the only factors that cross his mind.

Mickey     (Alex Wright)             

Mickey is Johnny's right hand man, he controls the aggressive side of the business and deals with Johnny's problems so that Johnny doesn't have to. Mickey was born in London but spent 3 years in Nottinghamshire prison where he came across a friend of Johnnys. Whilst inside Mickey was introduced to Johnny when visiting and this is where Johnny first offered Mickey work when released. Johnny labels Mickey as his most trusted employee and keeps him by his side at all times. Mickey's ultimate loyalty lies with Johnny and he would do anything for him.

 

 

Ruby (Alice Kerry)

Ruby his Johnny's pride and joy, if there's one thing that compares with money, power and respect to him its her. Johnny met ruby 2 years ago in a local nightclub in Nottingham. Ruby has always had an act for getting herself into danger although since being with Johnny, not many people would be foolish enough to cause trouble with her. Ruby knows she is protected by Johnny and because of this she has developed a confident personality who feels she can get whatever she wants. She is seen by many as a gold digger.


Ben (Tom Teece)
Ben was born on a rough council estate in the inner city area of Nottingham, it is here were he developed his low social class and chavvy approach. Bens matching tracksuit and baseball cap allow you to understand his chavvy ways and intimidating attitude. He is a regular drug user and client of Johnny's and has managed to work himself up a substantial debt problem. Theft and drug abuse are Ben's main attributes and are found upon his outstanding criminal record. Most of his life is spent in desperation and he has now found himself in his most desperate situation yet.

Aaron  (James Noble)

Alongside Ben is Aaron, as the film will portray, Aaron is Ben's metaphorical pet. Aaron is the perfect example of a dead end and has never been capable of thinking for himself. Aaron has worked alongside Ben in many crimes and has found himself taking blame for most of it. Although he hasn't found himself in prison yet, the most likely routes for Aaron are either jail or death. Simuarly to Ben, Aaron also developed an addiction for drug use and is also dodging Johnny. The two do not think before acting and this constantly leads them into trouble with the wrong people.
