Cast for the narrative




Oliver Trivett: As well as being the lead singer of the band, we also wanted him to play the main role so that we can show the link between the band and the narrative. Since Ollie was the ideal candidate to take up the role of Billie Joe Armstrong, with his acting skills we thought he would be the ideal person for the role.

Dan Illey: Ollie's best friend in real life,his brother from another mother, and a good actor. Dan can control his emotions and his good looks and his great composure ment he was the right actor to play ollie's best friend
Lewis Mcnemee: Lewis along with Ollie is a member of the band. He is the bassist and as we are using Ollie  in the narrative we thought we could use Lewis. 

                                                              
Kieran Hutchings: Kieran is part of the air cadets. He was the man who gave us our source of costumes and we decided to repay him the favor by offering him a life time oppurtunity he could not resist
                                                             .
Nathaniel Scott perry: Natt is willing to help out whenever he can. We needed as many people as we could get and he was a great character to have in the team. Nothing stops him from getting the job done and he hasn't got a bad eye when it comes to firing a rifle.
                                                            
Alice foster: The only girl in the narrative. We thought it would be a good idea to have both male and female actresses in the narrative so it can appeal to both genders. Alice was the best actress for the job and just has a great death pose.
