The lead role of Joseph is taken by Scottish actor/director Peter Mullan who was hand picked by Paddy to play a role loosely based on Paddy's late father (also called Joseph). Mullan is a winner of several BIFA and BAFTA best actor awards. British comedy actress Olivia Colman fills the supporting role as Anita. Colman, already having shot British comedy film Hot Fuzz with Paddy was approached to play the part due to her suitability for the role.
The story of this short was later expanded into the first Considine's feature film Tyrannosaur with the same actors as the main characters.
