Reseacrh and Planning: Casting for 'Ty'

We needed a hard-looking, strong young 'lad' to play the part of 'Ty'. This character is very manipulative and mischevious. He is known for being a trouble-maker with low aspirations to succeed in the future. He has anti-establishment values and morals which gains him status and respect when it comes to his peers.

We decided to use Dom to play this part as he, (with some costume work) fitted the general visual description we were aiming for. He has his head shaven which enhances the 'hard' look and when acting, he performs the role with the correct mannerisms and attitudes. Dom also has a very michevious character, and although its a different way to Tyrone, it could easily be adapted and changed to fit the character profile.
