character profile: Nathan Denny

One of the characters in our film 'Omnishambles' is a man who has survived the apocalypse, called 'Morgan Phoenix'. He is made out to be a man who was successful before the apocalypse happened, we do this by saying he ran a large corporation called Gene Co.,  yet loses everything after the apocalypse, this is to show how much this person has lost as he was a successful man but now he is forced to sleep outside in the ruins of  the London streets. This character then carries on to be the main narrator of the film. At the beginning he is a vibrant character with confidence with a very loud personality. However this changes after the apocalypse as he turns in to a quite and solitude character who starts to brake down as you see in the film.

Because of the role the actor would have to play we need someone with some acting background to deal with the dramatic change in characteristics of the character. also, they need to have a good speaking voice to fit the role of the narrator. Therefor the for this role in our film is Nathan Stephen Denny. He is a qualified actor with a Drama GCSE. He has been in many performances, such as 'The Island', 'Shot at Dawn' and 'Art'. He is good at  improvisation which means that ,if he needs to, he can bend the script to fit the role he is playing. This is why we chose him as he has a strong attitude to committing to his role. This is why he will be good  for the role of the survivor. Also, he will then become the main narrator throughout the film whilst staying in the character of the survivor. We thought he would be good for this role as he has a good speaking voice which makes him suitable for the role narrator and it also gives him the opportunity to develop his role as the survivor.
