Jon Hamm plays the detective / police officer in the Tow, a film that has been a major influence into our own product. The character himself is a middle aged, rough detective, who's driven to send the crew that commit the heist to prison. He is ruthless, yet charming, being aggressive and forceful when it comes down to the dirty work itself. He takes on the macho role, being tough and fearless. We want our character to be similar, wearing smart clothes consisting of a suit, while having a deep husky voice. He should be well built, and command the scene when present. His visual presence should be short hair, with defined features, but nothing more than what seems like an average man. The clip below reveals a little about his personality, and his driven mind set to send the villains to prison.
James McAvoy plays the detective in welcome to the punch, who takes on a similar role to Jon Hamm, in that he is courages to pursue the villain, in this case played by Mark Strong. His clothing (at times) is similar, as scene in the second and third picture, he often wears smart clothes including a shirt and tie. This is something we will want our character to be wearing. James McAvoy is younger than Jon Hamm, though we want to find a middle ground between the two ages, so that the detective is of similar ages to some of the men who committed the heist. His character is calm and collected, but throughout the film is seen to, at moments, lose control in his eager attempts to capture Mark Strong.
