We chose Ryan Clark to play Damien as he is of average height, innocent looking - but not necessarily weak. He is dressed smart throughout the film to reflect his intelligent nature (a characteristic to hope to be reflected in and to attract our target audience). Damien works as a clinical psychologist with a keen interest in Cognitive and Psychodynamic psychology (hence his later interest in dreams/premonitions) which means he wears a suit mainly during the film, but in the opening sequence we do see him dressed in nightclothes alike the picture shown at the top. The character is of around 21 years old. The audience should instantly relate to and like his character, we chose a fair haired, white actor to further ensure that our film abides by the conventions of film and drama's stereotype of a university educated, working male.
Ryan also has GCSEs in Drama and Expressive Arts which increased his credibility for the part.
