CASTING CALL – UK FEATURE FILM LUCY HARDING

Description

(Supporting Role)

Fire in the Hole Productions are casting Lucy Harding for the independent British crime drama IMPROPER BASTARDS.
Lucy is Danny Fincher’s former partner and the mother of his son. Their relationship was intense and defining — and its collapse left lasting damage on both sides. She made the decision to leave, and she lives with the consequences of that choice every day.

She carries guilt surrounding the loss of their child, but she does not wear it openly. Lucy’s strength lies in containment. She has rebuilt her life carefully and is determined not to be pulled back into chaos — even when Danny’s return threatens everything she has stabilised.

This is a role rooted in emotional restraint, moral complexity, and inner conflict.
Lucy does not plead, rage, or unravel. She sets boundaries. She holds her ground. The emotion lives beneath the surface.
