Casting for "Paint (2009)"

[aria fosbender] [12]

Aria at age 12 is short, scrawny, and blonde. A cutie, some girls would say, but he is too smart and busy to have a social life with anyone outside his group — he's a bookworm, a genius, and he's always correcting people, but could find his way out of a paper-bag without the mathematical formula — no he's not very athletic other than running.

[trevor fosbender]

Trevor is an 19 year old blonde.
He is around 6 feet tall and weighs around 180.
He is the older brother to Aria and Kyriè
He is very into paintball and somewhat messy.
One of his odd qualities is he is in between dealing with confrontation's, if he doesn't have to then he won't.

[rick wheaten]

Rick is a sixteen year old momma's boy. He is not a woos, but has this instinct and love to help others—he wants to be helpful in any manner, but has a knack to be a jokester and pick on people with names.

[chad black]

Chad is a a twenty year old 5 foot to six foot black haired kid. He follows rules and orders, yet he is a rebel, a tough guy wanting to break out. He excels at paintball and music which is his passion. He's a bass player and would love to go on tour and play live. He is also a romantic; this and his rebellious alter ego conflict.

justin

mosier

[garret hamilton]

As a carpenter and maintenance guru at Camp Augusta, Justin is a hard working, fun loving, knowledgeable, helpful kind of guy--the kind you do not find often, but the kind you wish you had around--the kind we were glad to have in the movie.

[doug allen]

Doug is the quintessential character that gets picked on.
He is 16 years old, somewhat over weight, always eating or drinking something.
He's shorter than the rest of the guys and is not that quick witted or for that matter book smart, but he can play paint ball.

kyriè sierra

davenport

[kyriè fosbender]

Kyriè is an avid actor who has been in eight stage plays and is a casting client of Sally Forcier’s. Kyriè and her character if the same name weren’t originally in the story of Paint but when Aria wasn't around to help with auditions, Kyriè took over and her reading was so great, the writer wrote in a small part just for her.

[roscoe hamilton]

Roscoe is the quintessential tough guy. He is over confident, arrogant at times, and selfish, but he is a great paint ball player, in fact everything he tries he usually does really well with it.

At age 22, he is the older brother of Garret by 7 minutes, yes, they are twins, paternal, not maternal—they have similarities but they are different. He is also very protective of his little sister Tara.

Roscoe used to be a bookworm, a self conscious introvert until his brother Garret talked him into playing paint ball one day; he has not stopped. It is an adiction for him to be the best. Wanting to be the talk of the town, the county, and soon, the nation.

[steve mathews]

Steve is one of the oldest in the group at 23; he is also Roscoe’s right hand man, some call that a best friend, but Steve is not a push over, he just puts up with Roscoe’s arrogance hoping one day Roscoe will make it big and Steve can shine on his own.

A car fanatic, a working stiff, but still young enough to go out and light up his fellow many with paint balls.

[wes kreger]

Wes at 19 is a tough guy. A bully most of his life. Not your typical bully—he has a reason when he beats you up or does terrible things, but what the reason is, only he knows.

Having a military dad was both good and bad, but he always felt he had to prove his toughness to his father by getting into fights with bigger guys—he still picked on the occasional wimp just to stay in practice.

Wes is not all bad. He's a heck of a paint ball player, but he's not a leader, he's a grunt, a pawn, and soldier and follows orders.

[david kreger]

David at 16 is a younger Wes with a twist. He aspires to be the leader, the master, the boss—something his dad has been working with him on—it is always easier to train the younger ones the way you want, but David still has that aggression just like his brother.

Not a beginner but not helpless either, David has the idea of the game but just not mastered the mechanics, strategy, and nuances of paint ball.

[carlos villareal]

Carlos at 20 years old is of Mexican / Latino decent—in fact his family is one of three Mexican / Latino families in the area; his uncle owns and runs an authentic Mexican restaurant in town.

Carlos is a very, very good paint ball player—learned it from his dad who was in the mexican military. His sharpshooting skills are by far one of the better in the group, the problem is, paint balls do not fly straight.

Good friends with everyone. Everyone likes Carlos for some reason or another: feeling sorry for him being a minority in the area, he is a handsome guy, he is helpful, he is fun to be around, or maybe because he gives everyone special deals at his uncle's restaurant; what ever the reason is, everyone likes Carlos.

[antonio villareal]

Antonio is mentioned, but as of yet he is not seen. Rerights are still in progress, so one never knows.

[tara hamilton]

Tara is a feisty petit 16 year old that is seen in the last half of the movie, but her role in the story is as important as her character.

The younger sister of Garret and Roscoe, who have protected, nurtured, and educated her in the ways of boys and paint ball—no other guy can touch her on either front, she is very skilled in martial arts, paint ball, and she loves to draw.

Not a true tomboy, she has her girly qualities, she uses them only when she wants to.
