Anyone know if the young lad Casper went on to do any other films ? nothing wrong with the acting mate, they were just lads of estates round the local area with no experience,think they did a good job,there was only a couple of real actors in the whole film.

Foxgun Tom 75 Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 The only bona-fide actor in the whole film was Colin Welland who appeared in the tv cop series Z cars, the rest of the cast were amatures, some of whom caught the bug and became actors/ over all I think the cast did a good job, considering Tom nothing wrong with the acting mate, they were just lads of estates round the local area with no experience,think they did a good job,there was only a couple of real actors in the whole film.
