The role of Andrew was performed by Arnaldo Carmouze and the role of Edward was played by Sheaun Mckinney.

Another issue that was exaggerated in an un realistic way were the curse words, I can understand that the character Georgie was supposed to be bad mouthed but not even the worst mouthed person wouldn’t have repeated the “F” word so many times.
