Cast choices

The protagonist, the teenage hitman, is played by Callum Glover. We chose him to play as this character because we felt Callum's look would match the stereotype that the audience would have about a boy who grew up in a hard life in an estate. Callum also fits in to the age description of a teenage boy and his clothing is the type that would be associated with a teenager. As Callum is also quite big and tall he brings across an intimidating look that we wanted for a hitman and his facial hair adds a sense of mysteriousness about him. 

The only other character used is the seemingly innocent walking teenager played by Steve Najipe. There aren't many stereotypes that needed to be fulfilled for this role. However Steve fits in to the teenage age group and highlights the enigma of the beginning. Steve doesn't look like a completely innocent law abiding character and the fact we see the protagonist planning to kill him makes the reader wonder what Steve may of done for this to happen.
