Cast and Characters
TONY
(Nicholas Hoult)
The best-looking, most popular boy in town, Tony’s a born leader,
always whipping his crew off on a new mission. Likes a laugh; always
at someone else’s expense.
SID
(Mike Bailey)
Poor Sid. A virgin, no confidence, but forever lusting after his best
mate’s gorgeous girlfriend while said best friend Tony plays him
like a fool. But Sid’s cleverer than he thinks. He’ll get
the girl of his dreams, eventually. It’s just not the girl he
thinks.
MICHELLE
(April Pearson)
Tony’s girlfriend ‘Nips’ is just as you’d expect.
She’s drop dead gorgeous with a quick wit that keeps everyone
on their toes - everyone except Tony that is - he runs rings around
her. And she knows it.
CASSIE
(Hannah Murray)
A total nutter, but magic with it. A self-harming anorexic with zero
self-esteem and a heart of gold.
CHRIS
(Joe Dempsie)
Always game for a laugh, Chris will smoke/ screw/ rob/ snort anything.
But nothing stops him getting to his psychology class because nothing
gets him going quite like his teacher, Angie.
JAL
(Larissa Wilson)
Hands down the most talented young classical clarinet player in the
country. Super bright, nothing gets past Jal. Especially not the way
Tony treats her best friend Michelle.
MAXXIE
(Mitch Hewer)
Magic on his feet and a whiz with his hands, Maxxie can have any boy
he wants. And he wants them all.
ANWAR
(Dev Patel)
Anwar’s family want him to study the Koran, and most definitely
not drink, or smoke, or have sex. Anwar likes tequila, dope, pills and
breasts. End of.
EFFY
(Kaya Scodelario)
Tony’s sister tends to keep her mouth shut, but gets up to more
than you’d care to know about. Tony loves her to bits, even though
she drives him mad.
ABIGAIL
(Georgina Moffat)
Dead posh, pretty and pumped full of prescription medication, Abigail
lives in a world of imported carpets, private school and constant therapy.
Just think of all the fun Tony could have with her.
