After a long search and many, many auditions, we’ve finally got our leads– Christine Breihan and Blaine Gray! We had a number of great choices for both Shooter and Angel, but as a couple, Christine and Blaine really stood out.
And, of course, we already have our Archie, in my friend John Mark Triplett. We met while working on a puppet movie last year. Needless to say, it was awesome.
In the early stages of writing this movie, I asked if he’d be interested in Shooter. Triplett turned me down, asking to play Archie, instead. He’s had several more months to prepare than the rest of our cast, which is good in some ways, bad in others. He keeps asking me if Archie can have a mustache.
No, he can’t.
Also, our wonderful casting director Becca Halpin will be playing the part of Carson. She’s a good actress, and I wish there was a bigger part for her in this flick. Oh, well. Next time.
There’s a few more key roles to fill, but I think we’ll make it in time for shooting.
