So I finally decided on Paul as the actor who will play Tom. Ruth emailed him today and he agreed.
It's always scary at this stage. I don't know if I made the right call or not yet. To be honest, I think, based solely on performance, Eddie was my preferred choice, however he just didn't respond well to directions where Paul did. In an ideal world, I'd push through with Eddie, however that's not really a risk I can afford to take on a student production, where the actors aren't even getting paid.
I'm sure I can work with Paul to flesh out the character. He seemed to understand the character in his audition, so I'm sure he'll do a good job.
