Casting Roles

Cut Loose consists of four main characters; Mel, Sarah, Rian, and Tyrone. Casting these roles was a more difficult task than we had anticipated as our storyline deals with sensitive issues, so we needed actors who felt comfortable with their characters background and would also be able to perform to a good naturalistic standard.


After auditioning a variety of actors we have settled on four whom we feel will be strongly capable of fore filling their role.


Sarah will be played by Lara Edwards, a calm and collected actress who is also a dancer. She will be able to perform the choreographed dance scenes with ease and has experience in playing characters from a violent background.

Rian will be played by Rian Formon, a strong and competent actor. With his acting experience Rian will be more than capable of fore filling the needs of his character. He will not struggle with the physical demands of his character as he regularly deals with roles which require high levels of fitness.

Tyrone will be played by Tyrone Mijberg, an actor whom is familiar with playing homosexual characters. With his past experience he will be fully capable of taking this part in his stride comfortably.

 Mel will be played by Melina John, a relatively new actress with a lot to offer. Melina can easily adapt to a variety of roles and after auditioning we felt she fit the role perfectly she feels passionately about her character and this passion is shown in her acting.

We feel that these actors are more than capable of fitting their characters personas and will perform well to produce a good end result.
