Acting Journal Day 7
What do you like about the character? I like Jude as he is tragically flawed reminded of an old Greek tale while the captain seems like he is the stock and essential space captain.
What is similar between you and that character? Like Jude I have experienced my lows in life and like the captain we have both failed at jobs
Do you know someone else who is like the character?
I do not know anyone like the captain and Jude I have friends ad family who battle with severe depression and suicidal actions
Do you have a personal experience that helps you understand this character? No not really for any of them
Think about why the character is the way he/she is. What made them the way they are? Make up a "back story" or history of the character. Where did they come from? What do they like and dislike? How old are they? What do they dress like?
The captain is Jack Redding, an elite member of the GCC. He was born on earth but raised in a colony in space and enlisted in the GCC shortly after high school, he is 32 years of age. He dresses in the GCC standard AB7 armor, he is a fan of classic westerns and noir films.

He left school early to get a job to support himself but his job does not pay enough and has left him beyond struggling.
