after looking at this character originally and thinking of him as no where near as good as tom Joad is as a character, i have realised now that Casey as a character has far more potential in some ways because Casey can be however i interpret him to be, his description in the play is far less specific than toms, this means that as an actor I could play around with him much more and therefore look at his dialogue more blankly, then acting it how i feel it should be acted rather than playing tom and having to read the lines in a certain way due to there general shortness and the way there written, for this reason i feel that Casey is a character that still has a lot of work to be done to complete him as a character when performing meaning he will be a more challenging deep and far more rewarding character to play than Tom.
If I get the opportunity to play the character of Jim Casey, i can guarantee I will play his character in a less conventional way, focussing much less on the fact he was a vicar and focussing much more on the fact he now isn't, for this reason I intend to gain character influence from tom hardy's character of Forrest Bondurant in the film Lawless, adapting some of his mannerisms and way of dress to the character of Jim Casey I also intend to get into a work out routine to bulk up for this role as I feel Casey should be quite a big man in order to highlight his dominance as a character.
