Casting: The Villain



Nicholas Ashurst 

AS MARIUS SINGLETON, A.K.A. MAGNUS

We have decided that the other half of my film making partnership will fulfill the role of the primary antagonist of the picture. Nicholas is very experienced with a wide variety of roles, but it is when he plays a ruthless character that he really shines. With "The Nero Complex" we witnessed he could portray an otherwise evil character with various subtleties in his performance that allowed the audience to understand and appreciate the other side to his nature.

The character of Marius Singleton is intelligent, yet deceitful, but also a physical force to be reckoned with. Nicholas clearly has the ability to fulfill and showcase these traits and his performance will not be something to be missed. While his character may not appear significantly in the opening, we hope his presence will be felt throughout.
