Personal Profile: 
David Strong is a dangerous man, serving the majority of his life in the armed forces, he has gained some experience in the field and is not someone to get on the wrong side of. Although David has his weaknesses, his daughter being one of them, he wants only the best for his daughter, this is why he has raised her under his strong Christian beliefs. David is a very proud man, he is excessively proud of his country being a member of the British National party, he is strict and likes to see himself as what everyone else should be. After David his wife left him, he became a forceful and negative man, this is slowly making him worse in the eyes of his daughter.

Why have we chosen this character?

This character was chosen through influence. We were influenced by several characters from other films. "John Doe" from Se7en is one of them, this character influenced some of his personality, he is obsessive, disturbing and has huge will power. Another character that influenced his beliefs is "Combo" from This is England. "Combo" is racist and truly believes in his country and wants it to be pure. This is where the idea came from but we also added in religion because it would also add to the strength of his views.
 Both "John Doe" and "Combo" are violent, obsessive and high tempered. This is what we wanted our character to be like, but we also wanted him to have a weakness, this being his daughter and I got this idea from Red Eye, as in Red Eye the father is the daughters weakness, she is bribed through the life of her father. This is where I got the idea of his daughter being his pride and joy, the one thing he cares about deep down.
Why have we chosen this actor?
The actor is Steven Webb, my dad, he is 38 and I thought that he would be a suitable to play the role of the character. He can play the character particularly well because he is a high tempered person anyway, he can look quite scary and some people fear him, his look is perfect because it is similar to "Combo" and "John Doe".
