Why I choose the
role I chose?
I originally wanted to play the character of James Dean; I wanted
to do this because I knew how challenging it would be to play an iconic person other
actors look up to. Even though I got a different role, this is
the original character I wanted to play. I wanted to push my versatile acting
techniques to the limit.
The role I got was the father, I have to play a character in
his 40’s, and this is also a big challenge for me playing someone who is over
20 years older than me. My characterisation has to be near perfect to play a 40
year old father accurately to convince my peers and audience I’m an adult.
The synopsis for the play I’m doing Pronoun is about a
transgender male, this means Dean was originally born a female but refers to
himself as a male. He is going through his transition to become a male. He has his friends and parents around him.
The other play Last Summer is about guy who comes out as gay
it explains his troubles about coming out in the play.
