casting details
Victor Ward, the protagonist of Glamorama by Bret Easton Ellis, is a Manhattan model and club fixture whose life revolves around surface, status, and image. He’s described as exceptionally handsome, with chiseled features, perfect hair, and a body sculpted by the gym. Victor is vain, self-absorbed, and emotionally detached, often repeating lines fed to him by agents or publicists, as if his identity is curated for the media. He moves through the fashion and celebrity scenes with practiced indifference, maintaining a cool, polished presence.
Casting Victor Ward would require someone with strong screen presence and striking, symmetrical looks, believable as a model. The actor must convincingly embody shallowness without turning the character into parody, able to deliver lines with flat charm and subtle menace. A detached, almost vacant quality is essential, with just enough flickers of insecurity beneath the surface.
