IMAGINING: ACTORS for BEFORE MY EYES
C
old. Ice-Rain. High Winds approaching. Stay Indoors! We're all hearing the warnings up and down the Northeast of the United States today.
So I'm daydreaming of actors to play the key teens roles in
BEFORE MY EYES
——just daydreaming—but if you've read
BEFORE MY EYES
, you'll know it's set at end of a long, hot summer.
If you've read BEFORE MY EYES (and of course, you must, it's available everywhere books and ebooks are... here's an easy link :), you'll know that these are complicated, layered Long Island suburban teens at a breaking point in their lives, and we'll need the absolutely right mix of stars.
Even more particularly, if you've read, BEFORE MY EYES , you'll know that there are three main teen characters:
Barkley - 21, an undiagnosed paranoid schizophrenic, having his first psychotic break, hearing a voice in his head, with a gun in his desk drawer, is breaking apart at the end of the summer as he tries to hold it together at the Snack Shack and at home
Claire -17 dreamy, poetic, Claire, takes care of her younger sister after her mother suffers a stroke, and is at her breaking point at the end of the summer
Max -17, soccer star, son of state senator, spending his summer working at the local beach's Snack Shack, popping "borrowed" prescription pain pills, and at his own breaking point
and two minor teen characters:Trish -17, funny, caring mother-hen of the Snack ShackPeter -17, developmentally-challenged, sweetheart-of-a-guy also at the Snack Shack, unexpected hero along with Trish.
If you've read BEFORE MY EYES, which young actors should play these characters?
And drum roll, the envelope, please, two thoughts on casting from the author of BEFORE MY EYES :
for the role of MAX: LOGAN MILLER.Just named one of the 11 Potential Breakthrough Actors at this year's Sundance Film Festival by Indiewire.
for the role of TRISH: known for her role in "Glee"
Other thoughts? — If you've read the novel, of course!
Stay warm!
