Elliott Tittensor, who is probably best known for his role as Carl Gallagher in the British television comedy drama 'Shameless' was cast in the role Gary 'Tits' Titchfield the lead singer of and central figure of the group. "I loved the script", says Tittensor, "it has a great balance of comedy and seriousness. It sounds weird but I had a proper strong feeling that I was, not made to do it, but I had to do it." Mat Whitecross recalls, "as soon as we met Elliott it completely clicked. He read the lines in a way that sounded completely right, he just had something immediately engaging about him which is not something you can bottle, it's not something you can think of, but he just feels like a star". Neilson continues, "from then on we cast around Elliott and found the other leads through a mixture of known faces, open auditions, then school and college trawls lead by the fantastically hard working Jane Ripley, whose vision and efforts for the film were incredible." http://www.facebook.com/spikeisland25th Check out the Stone Roses 25th Anniversary of Spike Island Online Petition at Facebook Thanks to British Independent Film Awards http://www.bifa.org.uk/
