Donal Logue - Gregory Brown
Donal Logue is a Canadian-American Actor, Producer and Writer born on 17th February 1965 and is 52 years of age. He is well known for his starring roles in Sons of Anarchy, Vikings and Gotham, all of which are television drama series. His body of work is very diverse, playing very different roles in every drama he has worked on, including a Psycho in Sons of Anarchy and more recently as a Detective in Gotham.

Filmography:
Little Women (1994)
Blade (1998)
Runaway Bride (1999)
Charlie St. Cloud (2010)
Silent Night (2012)
ER (2003-5)
Terriers (2010)
Sons of Anarchy (2012-13)
Vikings (2013-14)
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (2014-15)
Gotham (2014-Present)
I have selected Logue as the casting choice for Gregory Brown in this production. The character of Gregory is the opposite to his sweet wife Jill, in the series. In terms of his physical appearance, he is younger than Lange, but has mature, rugged features which suit the appearance of Gregory. Gregory has lots of facial hair and an unimpressed expression, all of which is emulated in Logue’s appearance.
His body of work and character choices are incredibly diverse. Logue would be able to bring some harsh, contrasting personality traits that would oppose Jill’s and be quite visually dynamic and entertaining for audiences. Also being a well known Television star, audiences should be attracted by the casting choice of Logue, having previously watched him in the highly popular series already mentioned.

Filmography:
Beetlejuice (1988)
Home Alone (1990)
The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
Frankenweenie (2012)
SCTV (1976-84)
Modern Family (2015)
A Series of Unfortunate Events (2017)
Catherine O’Hara is an Actress, born on 4th March 1954 (63 years old). She is known for her work in Films and Television, on productions including Beetlejuice, Home Alone and more recently in Netflix
Original - A Series of Unfortunate Events. It was her work as Georgia Orwell in UE that certified her suitability for this role. The character of Orwell is quirky and manipulative, and both qualities are necessary for the character of Francesca who is the nosey neighbourhood tyrant in the series, that taunts Vivian, alienating her from the locals. As she worked for a Netflix Original Series prior, this confirms her interest in working in television dramas and for that platform, making her a viable choice to star in the series. She is the appropriate age for Francesca and has striking eyes and features that will bring her facial expressions to life, making her performance quite dynamic and peculiar. Below I have attached a scene from the Netflix Original Series 'A Series of Unfortunate Events', starring Catherine O'Hara.
Joan Allen - Hazel Adams
Filmography:
Nixon (1995)
The Crucible (1996)
Pleasantville (1998)
The Contender (2000)
The Killing (2014)
The Family (2016)
Joan Allen is an Actress best known for her work in Films including Nixon, The Contender and Pleasantville. She also starred in ABC’s Television drama entitled The Family as the lead character whose son returns after being kidnapped 10 years prior. Allen’s history of work is diverse, with a background in both Television and Film, giving confidence to her acting ability. There are some familiar themes in The Family which suggest that this Production would not only interest her but confirm her suitability for the character, relating to the role of a Mother figure in particular. The following clip shows Joan Allen's work in The Family.
Michael Emerson - Peter Adams
Filmography:
Saw (2004)
The Legend of Zorro (2005)
Ready? OK! (2008)
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (2004)
Lost (2006-10)
Person on Interest (2011-16)
Michael Emerson is a an Actor, recognised for his work in Lost and CBS series Person of Interest. His previous work, largely being on Television ensures he would be suitable and interested in the project. His character choices are rather
diverse which suggests that he can adopt any role. To
portray Mr. Adams, he needs to be protective, strong
minded and assertive, but also soft and caring, given his acting experience this should be a feasible task. Physically he fits the appearance of Mr. Adams, who is smartly dressed at all times and has dark hair and a short, slender build.
Christopher Meloni - Detective Daniel Reed (Re-casting)
I decided to re-cast the Actor choice for Detective Daniel Reed in the series. Simon was not completely certain of my choice to cast William Fichtner for the production. Therefore, I completed some more research into the casting choice for Reed. I have chosen Christopher Meloni instead.
Filmography:
Runaway (1999)
Man of Steel (2013)
Snatched (2017)
Oz (1998-2003)
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999-2011)
Scrubs (2003)
True Blood (2012)
He is an Actor, most known for his role as NYPD Detective Elliot Stabler on Television Series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. His other work in television includes True Blood and the HBO Drama entitled Oz. As an Actor who has worked predominately on television dramas, it is likely that he would be interested in the nature of the Production. The role of Detective Reed requires attractive features including warm blue eyes and a soft-hearted charisma, whilst also maintaining the traits of a serious and hardened Police Detective with 10 years of experience. Christopher will be able to emulate the role requirements as his body of work is diverse but focussed on roles of a similar nature, therefore this role should feel familiar and relatable for him.
