introduction Cast and Crew Before we get started, before we raise The Majestic’s curtain allowing you a peek at the backstage escapades, let us introduce you to those players, both in front of the cameras and behind the scenes, whose collaborations will result in what we hope will be an entertaining, thought-provoking and emotionally stirring movie. Some background -- credits are defined in our industry as “above-the-line” (the stars and key filmmakers like director, producer, writer, cinematographer, costume designer, editor, composer, et.al.) and “below-the-line” (everybody else, including me...I like to say that I’m so far below the line that if you run the film backwards, I get top billing). So, if you stick around after the film ends, these are some of the names you will see in the credit roll (and read about in future journal entries): Characters Jim Carrey -- Peter Appleton (blacklisted screenwriter in 1951); Luke Trimble (son of Harry Trimble, presumed dead in battle, WWII) Laurie Holden -- Adele Stanton (daughter of Lawson’s town doctor and Luke’s girlfriend) Martin Landau -- Harry Trimble (owner of The Majestic movie theater) David Ogden Stiers -- Dr. Benjamin “Doc” Stanton (Lawson’s town physician) Jeffrey DeMunn -- Mayor Ernie Cole (Lawson’s Mayor and town druggist) James Whitmore -- town elder Stan Keller (owner of the local pawnshop) Chelcie Ross -- Avery Wyatt (the hardware store owner) Matt Weins -- Spencer Wyatt (member of Lawson’s band, and Avery’s son) Allen Garfield -- Leo Kubelsky (Appleton’s Hollywood agent) Ron Rifkin -- Kevin Bannerman (HHS Studios staff lawyer) Bob Balaban -- Elvin Clyde (H.U.A.C. lead council) Hal Holbrook -- T.
