Cavaliere Casting– Cesare Sforza
Cesare Sforza– PlayedbyActor ChrisPaling
Whywas Christhe perfectchoice for the casting of Cavaliere'sCesare Sforza?
Whencreatingand visioningthischaractersbackstoryandall the elementsof the mainprotagonist,
there wasalwaysone actor that I had inmindfor playingCesare,Ibelievethatitisverygood to have
a casting selectioninmindbeforehandasthishelpstothe developmentof the character( which
couldbe of howhe acts andis generally).Thisisbecause notonlythencanyouplayto the strengths
of the actor, butalso to allowthe abilityforarealisticportrayal of someone thatdoesnotexactly
look like adeliberate act,if the casthas the keyfeaturesalreadyof the characterthena realistic
portrayal will be possible.NowChris,whoiscastedtoplayCesare the mainprotagonist,isactually
my stepfather.NowChrisdoesmedieval 15th
centuryre-enactingasone of hishobbysports,this
rangesfromhorse riding,jousting,andmeleefightingaswell.Now the goodthingaboutChrisishe
istrainedinmany differentskillswithinre-enacting,buthe alsohasthe confidence andabilitytoput
on a showverbally,andfromwhatI have seenfromhimonshowshe isverygoodat interactingwith
the crowd. Therefore Ibelievethatnotonlydoeshe have the skillsettocarryout certainfeatures
withinthe film(e.gJousting) buthe canalsogo linearwhen itcomestothe arts of acting a character
out,and puttingona goodportrayal of anotherperson.Anyfeatureswithinthe filmthatinvolves
any kindof actionupona horse I knowhe isconfidentwith,he hasa well balancedbitof experience
usingSwords,andknowsall the filmsecretstogettingthatlookingrealisticonthe bigscreen;as
theyhave to infront of a crow merely10 feetaway.Surelythe positivesare lookingsecure forthis
castingchoice,itwas an obviousdecisiontoinclude himinthe casting,andIcan onlybe inspiredyet
more nowthe filmhasan actor setin stone.
The Right Look...
Nowit alsohappenedthatChrishadthe right lookforan ItalianNobleman,beingHalf Italianhimself
he was alreadya definitedownforcastingalone beforeanyskillsetwasintroduced,he haslong
lochsof darkbrown hair,anda groomedbeardfitforany astoundknight.The garmentsthathe
wouldwearwhenre-enactingwouldperfectlyfitthe scene,beingof ItalianOriginhe wouldbearnot
onlyItalian clothes,butItalianMilanese Armouralso.The rightgearforthe right idea.Itworkedout
verywell,propsandcostume were atwo inone deal,buyone actor get yourpropsand costumes
included.Like anactionmansetright!?Anyway,Chrishadthe lookI reallywantedforthe main
protagonist,he fittedthe bill extremelywell,andthisiswhyI am confidentenoughforhimto
portray the mainprotagonistwithinthe film.
Drive to act....
Chris,whenIaskedhimif he wouldbe willingtobe putintothe selectionof castfor the upcoming
Medieval ActionAdventure film,he wasconfidentanddefinitelydowntoplaythe role of the main
protagonist.The factthat he reallywantedtobe apart of thisproductionsolidifiedthe ideaof
makinghimintothe onlychoice that I neededforthe mainprotagonist.
FilmKnowledge...
Nowthismightverywell be where Igetthisfrom, but Chrisisa big fanof the filmsindustry,he has
an extensive knowledge of films(especiallyiconicclassics) andhasworkedwithpeople withinthe
industrytoo.More importantly,he hasagreat knowledgeof Medieval genre films,beingsomeone
whois letsface it,a massive historybuff he canhelpme outin some of my research.So.Anactor
whocan notonlystar but alsoaidin the developmentof the film, Ithinkwe know where thiswas
