Main Production - Pre Production - Character Bio

For our film noir opening scene we only needed one character throughout. His name is Cole Kelso. Cole in his prime was the best detective out there, he was solving crimes on the street and for a comparative is the 1950's "Sherlock Holmes". He would be known all over New York for putting highly dangerous criminals locked up weekly making New York a safer place. He then met a girl and fell madly in love with her, due to this he then got involved with a well known gang called the "Bedowski" mobsters, the power that the girl had on Cole was superior to his priority of his detective work, which lead to him finding and destroying evidence of crimes they have commit, doing this gained a closer relationship with this female. Due to hiding vital evidence of murders and drug dealings, the public soon found out and the story was unfolded so he became hated, wanted by many people, lost his rank in his job and also lost his important reputation. Once the public found out he had a epiphany and realised what he had "become", this makes his try to change back to his "prime" and the stardom that he had, but to get back up to this rank would be hard due to the trust by many people that he had lost. He came up with an idea to frame the "Bedowski" mobsters but doing this got him caught, once the Bedowski mobsters realised that he is trying to frame them, from their violent background they then went on the hunt for Cole to try and get revenge - and with their previous murders Cole knew at the first chance they had he would be a goner. This has resulted in Cole being a nervous wreck and paranoid everywhere he goes.

He now keeps a low profile all the time and hides most of the time, not going to major events and keeping his head down. He is a regular drinking and on the breach of becoming a alcoholic because he thinks that drink is the answer and to forget all his problems. He was not a regular smoker, only when a case stressed him out as he thought it was an easy way to relief stress, but now he is a heavy chain smoker and smokes up to 40 a day.
