Toby is an actor based in London and has experience in TV, Film, and Theatre, oh yes. "When I read the script it made me laugh out loud, a lot. Which is normally a good sign! There are some great comedy sequences which I'm very much looking forward to partaking in!"

Lauren McCall - Jennifer Ewing

Currently residing in New York City, Jennifer sent us an amazing audition tape which secured her the part. Trained at the American Academy Dramatic Arts in LA and NYC Jennifer has appeared in Edinburgh, New York and across the States. Jennifer is the mysterious Lauren McCall, daughter of comic collector Robert and niece of Jimmy McCall. Here's what Jen has to say about the project.

“How could I say no to a project that marries two of my favorite things: comics and old movies? It's goofy and sweet, totally charming, and doesn't take itself too seriously. Fun is something I try to look for in any project, because if we're having fun I believe the audience will too.”

Wolf - Mark McKirdy

Mark is co-founder of That's Lunch theatre company and has appeared in numerous plays, TV and film productions. Mark has bagged the role of Wolf, laid back, lothario of Deadhead Comics.

“I think it's something new and refreshing which the British film industry hasn't seen yet, After reading the script I knew that it was something special and I was adamant I had to be part of it. This movie will open the door to a whole new genre in British film making!”

Uncle Jimmy - Fish

Vocalist, lyricist, award winning broadcaster and actor, Fish will play Uncle Jimmy, the murderous brother of comic collector Robert McCall and the spark that ignites the whole movie.

“I really like the script and the team behind the film has impressive credentials. There's a great vibe about the project and everyone is involved for the right reasons - to have fun making an independent movie.”

Edison Bolt - Mark McDonnell

Mark is an accomplished actor who has appeared on radio, TV and feature films inc 'On a Clear Day' and 'Festival'

“Great script, crackin' dialogue, hilarious characters and the opportunity for me to run around the streets of Edinburgh dressed as a super-hero, in SPANDEX?! Electric Man is like Jim'll Fix It for me! 34 years late but worth the wait!”

Victoria - Emily Lockwood

Emily is an experienced stage actress who has appeared in 'Twelfth Night,' 'Romeo and Juliet' and 'The Snow Queen.'

“I absolutely love the concept and the script. It's so fresh, different and made me laugh; I genuinely believe that it offers something completely new than the type of film expected to come out of Scotland. Everyone behind the film is so passionate about it's success that you can't help but feel the same.”

Landlord - Andre Vincent

Stand up comedian, writer and actor Andre Vincent plays Jazz and Wolf's landlord. With his scary dog Zoltan in tow, he's demanding money from our heroes. money they don't have.

"Why have I got involved in the film? A few reasons. Ego is one, I guess. Two, my love of comic books and comic book hero films. Three, looks good on a CV and lastly Edinburgh, I love this city, not just during Festival season but all year round. It is first class backdrop for any movie. From "Kidnapped" to "Trainspotting". It's got everything, Echelon, History, Elegance and the remainders of my pancreas in a gutter after a 46 hour drinking session"
