This was fun to choose who the dream cast would be for Deceitful Truths but it was a lot harder than I thought it would be. The people I finally came up with who I think would play the roles really well are:

Tarin Roth - Deceitful Truths is really her story, her journey through something horrible to discover the truth and to save her son.

Natalie Portman would be really good for the role of Tarin. Not only is Natalie beautiful and a good actress but she has the look and the qualities that would fit this character. Tarin was raised in a wealthy home by a strict father, so there were high expectations for how she’d show up and how she’d act. She is always dressed in the nicest clothes, perfectly put together she almost seems snobbish, self-centered but there is an inner strength a need to search for who she is and who’s been messing up her life. I think Natalie Portman would do the role justice.

Graham Knight is the other  main character. He finds himself caught in a web of lies and deceit, someone is not only screwing with his company but that of his business partner’s very wealthy grandmother. All his suspicions are pointing him in Tarin’s direction.

Ben Foster has the look I want for Graham. Graham is someone who is a bit of a nerd/geek but is also very fit and into being active. Ben did such a great job in the movie Lone Survivor and although this role is very different, I think he’d do it really well.

I wanted to include another character from the story.

Dorothea Lindell owns the family winery and has for about fifty years. She is feisty, takes no crap from anyone and has no problem speaking her mind. The latest incident with someone trying to destroy her winery though is testing her resolve and having her question if her supposed-to-be-dead brother is again trying to ruin her life and that of her family.

Betty White would be perfect for this role.
