Cast (planning)

         After knowing how the casting was done for Whiplash, it's now time to decide who my group wants to cast for our swede. 

        As I stated before, Andrew Neiman is a very complex and talented musician. So, when it came down to who could really represent this role, we looked at our own Buddy Rich in the making, Liam Kenny. Liam is a sound designer in my group, but he is also part of the CSHS drum line. His talent, along with his overall knowledge of drumming, really made him a perfect fit for this role.

        Now it comes down to Fletcher. Who can really take on the act as this brutal and violent mentor? My original thought was my friend Alexis. She is a very comical person who tends to take on many different personas (in a humorous way) and always gets a good laugh out of anyone she's talking to. Upon further discussion, her laughable nature just isn't someone we thought could take on this identity. Ultimately, we landed on someone we knew could deliver our expectations, Mr. Ardilla.  

      Mr. A is the band teacher at CSHS. Because of this, Liam and him already have that "student-teacher" dynamic that is represented in the film.
