For the new film we thought using Karl again would be our best bet, he was perfect for the running in the draft but because of his martial arts history and constant spa and fight demo competitions he had the perfect build for our new fight scene. For these new reasons we chose him for the main character/spy.
But for the position of contact we chose a character and friend that wouldn't mind being beaten up and give a realistic edge to everything, so Richard Mackey was the best choice. He had enough strength and stature to look like he could take on Karl but ultimately his efforts would be outdone in the final scene. Also similar to our reasons for choosing Karl, Richard is a close friend so his efforts would be more than standard and working with him would ease the overall process. From experience I know that Richard has a strong resilience to most things and when asking him to be part of the film he was happy to accept and put enough time in it until it was completed.
For the final role as the corrupt boss we chose another close friend called Alex Prichard who at 6ft 4 would give the perfect adult look and add a sense of sophistication to the whole film. His slow and smooth style of talking would add an over confidence to the character and ultimately provide a the best representation of a boss type person without detracting too much from realistic scene.
