Main Characters - Neutral

These are the two main neutral characters- The main character 'William', and the poker dealer, 'Jones'.

William Harris - Jonathan Lees (Left)
The main character, William is a weak-minded and inconfident yet handsome man, his pride and self-respect lost with his descending financial and social situation. He is a small character both in size, confidence and stature, and has nothing going for him anymore. Hence, he is entering this high stakes poker game and gambling away all he has. Already he has lost his wife, his job, any hope of a normal life, and in this scene he gambles away all he has left- the last scraps of money left for him in his father's will- in the hope of regaining the reigns on his life. He realizes throughout that he is the weakest player at the table, and almost knows his inevitable loss. His inconfidence is apparent in all 3 subscenes of the sequence. I chose John as he is a quiet character as it is, and in terms of characteristics fits the role perfectly.

Jones - Jonathan Beaumont (Right)
Jones is the dealer in the game of poker. He is young and weak, but not naive. He realises the true nature of the poker game, and has been hired personally by Marcus, as the son of a friend. He is sharp and has been fascinated by cards from a young age, and got into dealing fairly early on. He is hugely interested in card games, but himself steers well away from gambling as he knows that there is nothing to be won without cheating. Behind closed doors, he did offer to fix up the game in Marcus's interests for a sum of money, but Marcus was confident enough to be certain of his victory. At heart, Jones is not an evil character, and is only involved in the underground criminal network for the money.
