Auditions to play: Rupert Grace

Andy Norgate

Andy Norgate was the first to audition for the role of Rupert Grace who plays the father of the two children.
We took into consideration his age and how it was the perfect for playing this role.
He is very confident when auditioning, however he has not had any experience which we could unfortunately see when he acts.
Another disadvantage is that his availability is poor and would be an issue to travel to the filming location in Farnham.
After weighing up the positives and negatives, we came to the conclusion that is confidence is good for the role but on the other hand, we feel as though our actor should be more experienced. Therefore, he will not be casted.

Rupert Hollin

Rupert Hollin has had plenty of experience in the past as an actor and especially in short films which was perfect.
He came across very calm and collected from start to finish and he has plenty of time on his hands for filming.
The commute for him to get to the filming location will not be an issue as we decided to film at his house.
We did not find any faults behind his audition and know that he will be reliable throughout. Therefore, he has been casted to play the role of Seb and Zola's father, Rupert Grace.

Ray Lewis

Ray Lewis was very calm and comfortable throughout his audition which put him at an advantage.
However, a disadvantage discussed was that we feel as though her is slightly too old for the role of Zola and Seb's father.
Also, access for him to travel to our filming location was difficult for him which affected his availability.
Overall, we have decided not to cast him
