In 2011, the psychological thriller directed by Christian Christiansen "The Roommate" was released. The actors of the film quickly aroused the interest of many viewers. According to the plot, the girl Sarah enters college and, upon moving into the hostel, meets her new neighbor, Rebecca. Friendship is fastened rather quickly, but after that it develops into a mania for one of the students. Let's take a closer look at the actors of the film and their roles.
Minka Kelly as Sarah Matthews
It's hard to imagine anyone else as bright, determined and strong Sarah, and she didn't plan to act in films. At a young age, acting classes were just a hobby, Minka wanted to become an operating sister, which she studied for, and after four years she worked as a cosmetologist. In parallel, acting in small roles on television, she got a taste and decided to become a full-fledged actress by all means. It was difficult to call her carefree childhood, her mother worked as a stripper fornights, and during the day she spent all the money with Minka in shopping centers on outfits. The girl herself recalls these times with a smile on her face. Her heroine is a bright and interesting girl who came to study as a designer and realize her cherished dream. She is not averse to making new friends and going to a party, a real friendly roommate. Actors of other roles played no less interesting.
Leighton Meester as Rebecca Evans
The actress is known to the general public for her role as Blair Waldorf in the cult series Gossip Girl. In The Roommate, she originally auditioned for the role of Sarah, but the director decided that a more challenging role would suit her. Rebecca, like Blair from Gossip Girl, has one thing in common - they are both from we althy families, which made them spoiled and eccentric. Layton herself did not have a chance to learn what it is to live in abundance, her parents sold marijuana, and over time they were imprisoned. The mother of the actress spent her entire pregnancy in prison, and only for 3 months she was released so that she could give birth and spend a little time with her daughter, and then return to serve her sentence again. Despite all the difficulties, Leighton was able to succeed in big cinema. The role of Rebecca was not so easy to play. Stone insensitive face, cruelty in the eyes - all this she was able to convey in the best possible way.
Cam Gigandet as Stephen Morterelli
The main male role went to a charming American actor. According to the plot, Sarah meets his hero at the studentparty, and notes of mutual passion appear between them. After, as in the classics of the genre, the main characters start a love affair, which, however, is immediately interfered with by a roommate. The actors were able to play a real drama, one might even say a love triangle. Rebecca, with an unhe althy mania, tries to keep her friend, but Steven is not going to give in.
Other actors of the film "Roommate"
Besides Sarah and Rebecca, other girls lived in the hostel. One of them is Tracey Morgan, played superbly by Alison Michalka. She starred in the TV series Hellcats, in the movie Ice Princess and even became famous as a singer. Her character, trying to make friends with Sarah, learned firsthand what it feels like when your roommate is angry with you.
Actors from the youth series "The Vampire Diaries" also took part in the filming. Katerina Graham and Nina Dobrev played Rebecca's ex-girlfriends, who met her and Sarah in a cafe. Nina admitted in her Twitter account that she starred in a large number of scenes, but they decided to cut them, and she and Katerina had to be content with one small scene.
Another handsome actor in the film was Matt Lanter, who played Sarah's ex-boyfriend Jason Tanner. The young man became famous thanks to the main role in the youth series 90210: The New Generation. There are not many scenes with his participation, but even this did not prevent the attention of his fans to the film.
