  10. Part Two:The Dream Cast

  11. ‘Captain’ Boyle Actor: Sean Connery Acting Directions Alot of energy Light-hearted tone You think you know it all Act as though you have to explain everything to Mrs. Boyle Avoid conflict in scene at all costs

  12. Mrs. Juno Boyle Actress: Susan Sarandon Acting Directions Smart woman with strong opinions; act like your opinion matters Let Mr. Boyle talk, accept that he’ll say something stupid Caring towards children (Be concerned with Mary’s flirtatiousness and Johnny’s hallucination)

  13. Charles Bentham Actor: Chris Evans Acting Directions Embody the player/lady’s man persona Have sneaky eyes Be well spoken and confident, almost cocky Dress well You are refined and seemingly above these people

  14. Mary Boyle Actress: Lily Collins Acting Directions Shallow, vain way of speaking Judgmental looks towards everyone Be completely absorbed in flirting with Bentham, uninterested in political and religious talk

  15. Johnny Boyle Actor: Joseph Gordon-Levitt Acting Directions Act uneasy, pace often, shifty eyes When topic of ghosts comes up, get defensive and stutter through lines Pure horror at “sight” of Tancred; you see it, no one else does
