Playing Two Characters In One Film
Nov 13th, 2009 by Alan Yu
I got an e-mail today that is related to the unadvertised roles post I made a few days back. Turns out, they wanted me to play a part and offered me a role. Now the unique thing about this project was that their intent it seems is to use a couple of actors who will then play two different characters. Essentially, this is more of a challenge for a wardrobe and makeup department to try and make the actors look like two completely different people.
Sounded like fun to me and would be a good experience. From the script breakdown it looks like in one scene I would need to be a villain and in completely different scene I am playing some guy that is being tortured and interrogated by some crazy guy. Sounds pretty intense too as there are supposed to be a lot of things like blood and bruises.
I chuckled a bit in reading it as the character’s name is “Jack” apparently and since I watch 24 I couldn’t help but to think this scene is semi inspired from that show. Doesn’t look like I get to kick anyone’s butt though. lol.
