Cast Members - The Men

In the original Torso, there are many male characters weaved into the storyline. John Richardson's edgy teacher, Franz; Luc Merenda's dashing doctor, Roberto; Stefano, Daniella's unhinged stalker, played by Roberto Vanzi; as well as a wealth of secondary characters who are all possible of committing the murders around which the film revolves.

For the remake, the characters have been reduced. Rather than spend time attempting to develop many characters as possible suspects, the idea for the remake is to instead have fewer people who could be responsible for the crime; however all of them are much closer to the girls than any of the characters in the original film.

Filling Merenda's shoes is Firefly Media regular David Waidson, who has become increasingly active in recent projects. A new character will be played by Rory Bampton (pictured right), playing Sarah's boyfriend. Rory and Sarah are a real-life couple, and they are both newcomers. I haven't worked with either of them before, but they are both very enthusiastic about the project. Especially if there'll be wine on set.

And usually, there is.
