Sean
Pertwee, son of John (Dr Who, Worzel Gummidge) Pertwee, plays the "Sarge"
Sergeant Harry Wells , a seasoned campaigner who is intent on looking after
his boys. Sean is an actor of considerable experience and is now a partner
in a production company "Natural Nylon" with the likes of Jude Law,
Ewan McGregor, Jonnie Lee Miller and Sadie Frost.
Kevin
McKidd (Trainspotting) received the script for "Dog Soldiers" at
the stage door of the West End theatre where he was performing:
'I thought about it: is this a good idea? It's a werewolf movie; I've
just been doing this really worthy play; people might look down their noses.
Then I thought: No, f*** it actually, I've always wanted to do that kind of
thing.'
McKidd plays Cooper, a candidate for Special Forces and all round good
egg.
Liam
Cunningham (First Knight, Jude and loads of others) plays Ryan the Special
Forces captain and psycho.
Darren
Morfitt (Lots of TV."The Bill" "Grafters" also on stage
played Mickey in "Blood Brothers" in the West End) plays Spoon (Phil
Witherspoon) the squaddie who keeps up his fearless nutter image right to
the very end. I won't spoil but a great scene.
Leslie Simpson plays rifleman Terry Milburn ,
Thomas Lockyer ("Jacob" in "Ultraviolet") plays Corporal
Bruce Campbell.
Chris Robson ("Band of Brothers") plays Joe Kirkley and they're
all missing the England v Germany match for this! (Sorry couldn't find piccies
for these three. When I do they'll go in).
Megan
is played by Emma Cleasby who sadly is the weak link. I just found it difficult
to believe a word she said. I'll quote my wife on this one:
Of all the thousands of talented and pretty actresses they
had to choose from, they chose her: she was crap!
Sorry Emma better luck next time.
Here's
the beast himself. You never get more than a seconds glimpse of them in the
film which is right and good. I think he looks scary anyway. If you'd like
a closer look, click for the big picture.
Awards:
'Corbeau d'Or' and 1st Prize from the audience at the 2002 Brussels Fantasy
Film Festival.
The Buffy's Foes Best Werewolf film of the year 2002.
