The Cast (one man band)

The character of the autistic boy should be played by an actor who is:

• Able to act vulnerable yet mature
• Good Actor
• Appealing to a young audience
• Able to be tried in America for an adult

We decided on the actor, Andrew Irving.

Chosen Actor: Andrew Irving

We've chosen Andrew as our actor, firstly for me,  because he fits the image in my mind's eye, but also because he's a young actor who we think will be able to portray the symptoms of Autism effectively. As he is 17, he will appeal to our target audience and he also fits the common stereotype that teenagers are fixated on computing and therefore the scenario appears more likely to occur.
