CAST AND CREW

What a sparkling and talented broad range of talent we had the pleasure of directing and working with on the set of the DILEMMA feature.
The acting was precise, poignant and passionate (and some of the moments profoundly deep and moving).
We think that Hitchcock would have been proud!

PRINCIPAL CAST
JOHNNY NEAL
Role: Julian - The Lawyer
Johnny is a unique and character-driven, passionate male actor who says he is most at home on-screen playing deep, cognitive characters whether heroes, anti-heroes or villains.
For DILEMMA, playing JULIAN required some digging deep of a different and challenging character (and he pulled out some amazing scenes with co-star David Flanagan). However, it was during his interaction with KAREN (played by Nicole Evans) that the sparks began to fly.

Role: Karen - The Actress
Nicole is a professionally-trained actress based in Manchester and working internationally in Film, TV, theatre and commercials. In her spare time she is also an experienced presenter and model. Nicole has recently played Vivian in BLACKBIRD with Michael Flatley - Released: Autumn.
In DILEMMA, while playing the mysterious and seductive KAREN, Nicole brought a triplication of characterisation to the role that not only delivered an enticing and entertaining performance but also held the production's attention as she delivered not one, but three, memorable characterisations. Bravo, Nicole!

DAVID FLANAGAN
Role: David - The Novel Writer
David carries a role to completion with surpirisingly little effort. His ability to transcend the character he works on and this makes him an interesting actor with a class and believability that is clearly seen on set. David is a passionate actor who says he is most at home on-screen playing characters that have a dark sub-complex.
For DILEMMA, playing DAVID required a challenging find of the sot of character that an audience watches and immediately suspects but gives nothing away until the end.

KERRY NEWTON
Role: DCI Steele - Investigating Inspector
Kerry is a professional actress who lives between Manchester and London. She has played various roles in Film, Television and theatrical productions with a strong delivery that is almost hauntingly unnerving. She is widely experienced in screen acting as well as theatre, comedy, presenting, musical theatre and cabaret. She is also highly trained in Shotokan Karate, Krav Maga and can handle a range of weapons professionally, from a sword to firearms in combat.
Kerry is also a professional singer to a very high standard. Her nerve and presence came into its own in her role in DILEMMA playing DCI Steele; the savvy, sharp and determined inspector who is known for always 'getting her man.'

Paulette P Williams
Role: DCI Hale - Investigating Inspector
Paulette P. Williams is an actress, known for larger productions such as: known for About a Boy (2002), Alice Through the Looking Glass (1998) and Where the Heart Is (1997) as well as A Leading Man (2013), the US Series: C.A.T.s (Covert Anti-Espionage Team) (2012) and The Three of Us (2015).
When casting for DILEMMA, one of the director's saw her role in CATS and was immediately captured by her head level professionalism and outstanding performance and delivery. As a seconded investigating inspector sent up from a Task Force in London, she brought a challenging character to oppose Kerry's DCI and the two complimented perfectly.
