Most recognised for her role as Lou Beale in EastEnders, Anna was the last member to join our amazing cast and was the perfect choice for Jean Parker.
“Anna brought a fascinating, real and lovable edge to a very difficult character. If the audience didn’t love Anna, they wouldn’t love the film. She made sure that everyone did. Amazing.” - Brian Franklin (Director)
The first actor to attach himself to Numbers Up, Brian was always incredibly enthusiastic about the project.
“I am completely indebted to Brian (Croucher). He joined our film after just one meeting and never stopped believing in the story. A fantastic actor and I am glad to now say, friend. Thank you Brian.” - Brian Franklin (Director)
The third actor to attach himself to the project, Martin made this pivotal character bristle with danger.
“I absolutely loved Martin the second I saw him. I am a big man myself at 6ft 5inches tall and Martin seemed to tower above me. Martin is an amazing actor who brought real power to his performance.” - Brian Franklin (Director)
Second to join the cast of Numbers Up, Lynne took on this small supporting role with gusto.
“I am blown away by Lynne every time I see her in Numbers Up. For me, she is and always will be Val Stanley. She is an amazing character actress who brings something special to the character. Amazing.” - Brian Franklin (Director)
