The Lead Has Been Cast

Spoke to the actor yesterday, He had almost finished reading the script, really liked it, and wanted to do it. So the lead role has been cast. That's a load off.

He didn't fit the physical image at all, but his acting outweighed that. Now, we'll have to do something appearance-wise to make him fit the role a bit... but he's open and willing to do that.

He has a manager (none of the other actors had reps we needed to work with)... so there will be some work to be done there, but hopefully it won't hold anything up. It's a no-budget film with deferred pay, so I am guessing they aren't expecting a lot of perks.
