Crucible Cast

I chose Josh Holloway as John Proctor for a number of reasons. First of all he looks like a rugged farmer, which is how Proctor is described physically in the play. Josh is also good looking and has very developed muscles like a farmer should. In Lost Josh’s character played a bad boy who was cheating on all sorts of girls. He also got together with Kate and then broke up with her to be with Juliet who was his first love. Thereby cheating on Juliet in the process. He fits as Proctor because he cheated but feels bad about it and doesn’t want to do it again.

John Proctor: Josh Holloway

Reverend John Hale-Michael Emerson

I chose Michael Emerson for John Hale because he looks like a young businessman. He has that know it all look on his face, and the vest completes the ‘best of the best ‘look. I picked him also because of the role he played on Lost. In Lost he was the man who thought he knew everything about the mysterious Island. The people he was in charge of respected him and they also believed everything he said. In the play John Hale has the same respect from the community.

Reverend Samuel Parris- Terry O’quinn

I chose Terry O’quinn for this role because he looks like he thinks he is above you. His smirk says I know more than you so just shut up. He has also played the role of a person with a higher power in Lost. In that role he believed whole-heartedly that he was above others and they should respect him more. Reverend Parris believes the same thing about himself in the play.

Abby Williams- Evangeline Lilly

I chose Evangeline Lilly for this role because of the role she played in Lost. She was the girl who was sleeping around with all the guys. She cheated on one man to be with Sawyer (Josh Holloway) then got rejected for Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell).  I also think she has that innocent on the outside but devilish on the inside look. She is also very pretty and young just like Abby.

 Elizabeth Proctor- Elizabeth Mitchell

           

I chose Elizabeth Mitchell because of the role she played in Lost. The relationship between Kate (Evangeline Lilly) and Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) is just like the relationship between Abby and Goody Proctor. They hate each other and always suspect each other when wrongs are done. Kate cheated with Juliet’s man just like Abby cheated with Proctor. She isn’t as good-looking as Evangeline Lilly either, which is another thing she has in common with Goody Proctor.

Marry Warren-Emilie De Ravin

I chose this actor for this role because of a different role she played in Lost. She was the character Clair who became friends with Kate (Evangeline Lilly). She always thought Kate was a good friend but found out that she stole her child. In the Crucible Abby betrays her friends by making them lie about what they did in the forest. Kate betrays Clair in Lost; therefore she is a good choice for the role of Marry Warren.

Goody Rebecca Nurse- L. Scott Caldwell

I chose this actor for this part because she looks like a very caring and nice person. She also looks like she is comfortable with herself and doesn’t care what anyone else thinks. In some roles she has played she is very much respected and loved. In her role in Lost she was one of the few people who hadn’t tried to kill, cheat, or steal.

Goody Ann Putnam- FIonnula Flanagan

I chose her for this role because she looks like an angry old woman.  She looks like she has been through a lot and wants revenge on someone. In the crucible Goody Putnam wants revenge on the people she believes caused her children to die. Also in some roles she has played she was a manipulative old woman trying to keep her son safe and happy.

Thomas Putnam- Alan Dale

I chose Alan Dale for this role because he has that businessman look to him. The suit he is wearing looks very nice and expensive which leads me to believe he is a wealthy man. I also chose him for the role he played in Lost. He was married to Flonnula Flanagan in the show so it’ll be easy to pretend to be married again. He also was a businessman in the show, always trying to get more power, just like Thomas Putnam.

Tituba-April Grace

I chose April Grace because she has the look of someone who has been through a lot. She has worn features but still looks smart. I mainly chose her because of the role she played in Lost. She was a slave to Alan Dale’s character and to Michael Emerson’s character. Also there was a scene where one of her prisoners begged her to do something and she did, and then got punished for it. Tituba did the same thing for Abby and her friends and it almost cost her life.
