Imagine you are going to direct a stage production of Othello.
Choose an actor to play Iago. You must clearly explain why you have chosen this actor, and why you feel the actor would be able to portray Iago effectively.
Post an image of your chosen actor to your blog, along with their name, and reasons for your choice.
Then Estelle, the agent from Friends, will call your chosen actor, and tell them the good news!*
You cannot choose an actor who has already played Iago, but it is useful to see who has taken on the role in the past.
Actors who have played Iago (Google images is your friend here):
Ewan McGregor
Kenneth Branagh
Ian McKellan
Rory Kinnear
Daniel Craig (about to play him)
Tim McInnerny
Christopher Eccleston
Josh Hartnett
Lucian Msamati
*No, she won't. This is merely an exercise. Estelle is (unfortunately) a fictional character.
