Sean Ellis the Director of Cashback discusses casting Sean in the role of Ben Willis.

One of the important choices you made as director was to cast Sean Biggerstaff as Ben. He's not a typical young lead…

He gives off something non-aggressive, he has an aura of calm. He's also relatively malleable. For the screen test, I asked him to record the voiceover using different accents. I then spent a while dreaming of the film as I listened to this cassette on which he displayed a wide variety of voices. But the main reason I chose him was you don't really see him as a sexual deviant. (laughs) Because if you think about it, what Ben does is a little bit suspect.
