White Angel Cast
PETER FIRTH
Peter Firth is one of England’s great actors with
leading roles in films such as ‘Equus’, ‘Letter to
Brezhnev’ and Roman Polanski’s ‘Tess’. He received
an Oscar nomination (and Golden Globe award) as best
supporting actor in ‘Equus’ for his role as the
disturbed Alan Strang, a performance which is now
equalled by his chilling and strong portrayal of
Leslie Steckler, the middle aged serial killer.
His genteel English dementia is quite unlike
anything else that has been seen on the screens for
many years. His recent work includes, ‘Shadowlands’
and ‘An Awfully Big Adventure’. Peter won the award
of Best Actor at the Valenciennes International Film
Festival
HARRIET
ROBINSON
Harriet Robinson, the only American in the film,
brings the story the strong female and international
element. Harriet’s previous roles included small
parts in Colombia’s ‘A Time of Destiny’ and a
supporting lead role opposite Eddie Albert in the
English, Norwegian film ‘Turnaround’. Earlier work
includes ‘Love Potion No. 9’, a romantic comedy, and
a BBC screenplay adaptation of the novel ‘Utz’
directed by George Sluizer following on from his
success of ‘The Vanishing’.
Harriet’s portrayal of Ellen Carter, a resourceful
yet troubled writer is perfect for the mood of the
film.
DON HENDERSON
Don Henderson is one of British TV and Films best
known faces, with hundreds of credits to his name
from ‘Star Wars’ to TV’s ‘Bullman’. He has appeared
in many of the chart topping British TV shows -
‘Strangers’, ‘The Sweeney’, ‘Poldark,’ ‘The Onedin
Line’, ‘Doctor Who’, ‘The Paradise Club’. Don’s
recent movie credits include Peter Greenaway’s ‘The
Baby of Macon’, ‘Carry on Colombus’, Kafka’s ‘The
Trial’ and ‘No Escape’ with Ray Liotta.
Don’s on screen charisma was perfect for the hard
and gnarled Inspector Taylor, hot on the heels of
Steckler and Carter.

Chris Jones was born and raised in the North of

he knew what he wanted to do. In his teens he

He made a short entittled "The Thing From Beneath
The Bed" which went on to win 12 international
awards including the BBC’s Young Filmmaker of the
Year, The Algarve Film Festival and The Tokyo Video
Festival.
About WHITE ANGEL, Chris states "During the film's
release, it was a shock to discover that there were
infact real life serial killers at work in the town
we were based. Just a few miles down the road, and
only a month after WHITE ANGEL'S premiere, Fred and
Rose West were apprehended. White Angel was Chris’
Directorial debut for the cinema a the age of 24.
GENEVIEVE
JOLLIFFE - Producer
Genevieve spent most of her childhood watching
horror movies, but it wasn’t until she saw The
Making of Star Wars that she knew she wanted to make
movies. She spent much of her school years immersed
in photography and at seventeen she went on a
working world tour, gaining a global view of film
making. When she returned she worked with several
film companies and gained a place at Bournemouth
Film School where her business relationship with
Chris was put into motion.
Having seen films such as the award winning Silence
of the Lambs and the controversial Henry - Portrait
of a Serial Killer, Genevieve explains that she
thought something was missing. "The films never
explained why these men killed and whether they
could stop or be cured. Nor did either of the films
treat their subjects as human beings but more like
freak shows to look at from a distance. I decided we
should do something different"
Genevieve is listed in the Guinness Book of Movie
Facts and Feats as the Youngest British Feature Film
Producer at the age of 20.
