- Very smartly dressed, denotes higher status in criminal world.
- Sharp suit, slicked hair, all very smart and well presented.
- Places to draw on for this character's costume are Mads Mikkelsen in 'Hannibal, Andrew Scott in 'Sherlock', Roger Sterling in 'Mad Men', and Rupert Penry-Jones in 'Whitechapel'.
Character
- A cerebral yet brutal character. Very confident in himself, and with good reason. High up on the criminal food chain and known to be very dangerous.
- A sense of humour and a desire to solve any disputes in a verbal fashion make him seem even more dangerous.
- Fancies himself as a high power business man, hence his dress sense. Is endlessly irritated by the illegitimacy of his work and people's insinuations that he is nothing more than a common crook.
- Some inspirations for this character are Badger from 'Firefly', due to his wishes to be a respected, legitimate businessman, Moriarty from 'Sherlock', who is endlessly self confident and very chilling in this respect. Another influence on this character is Jeff Bridges' character in Looper, and many other 'Godfather' or 'Mob Boss' type characters.
Casting
- There ought to be some confidence in this character, along with an air of danger. This is probably one of our more stereotypical characters, and thus potentially easier to play for whomever we cast. This role may require an actor with certain physical features though, although these are not rigid recquirements if we are unable to find someone 'suitable'.
