hearted behind a gruff exterior and a twinkle in his eye.

At times clowning but with a dark side. Younger than Carl and not as tall. A man with a soft expression but sometimes showing glimpses that indicates how sharp he really is. Not fluent in Danish as he originally comes from the Middle-East. Look: Stocky but very agile, hairy hands, very dark eyebrows, wide forehead and blue-black stubble.

The same age as Merete, good looking.

UFFE LYNGGAARD Merete’s brother –a few years younger. Traumatized and mute. Blonde hair, broad shoulders, beautiful, strong arms, tall lanky with a slight stoop. Heart of gold but can turn wild if he is scared or there is something he does not understand.

EFTERLYSNING!

Vil du hjælpe med casting ideer? Jussi har lavet en aftale med den amerikanske manuskriptforfatter, producent og film instruktør Scott Frank om at lave en amerikansk TV-serie baseret på Afdeling Q bøgerne. Serien skal køre over flere sæsoner i stil med Breaking Bad og Sopranos. Det store spørgsmål er nu: Hvilke udenlandske skuespillere skal spille hovedrollerne? Send dit bud til: dep.qcasting@gmail.com Her kan du se mere om de enkelte karakterer: CARL MØRCK Ca. 40 år gammel, moden mand med pondus, slank og relativ høj. Sexet på en lidt diskret måde og lun med et glimt i øjet.

ASSAD Charmerende, imødekommende med god udstråling. Måske et glimt af klovneri, hvor man aner nogle mørke sider inden under. Yngre end Carl og ikke helt så høj som Carl. En mand med et blødt udtryk, men med glimt af, hvor knivskarp han er indeni. Taler ikke fejlfrit, da han oprindelig er fra Mellemøsten. Tæt bygget, men adræt, behårede næver, mørke øjenbryn, bred pande, blåsorte skægstubbe. Temperament: Rolig, optimistisk, flittig, hurtig, samvittighedsfuld, humørfyldt, er grundlæggende glad. MERETE LYNGGAARD Omkring de 30. Tjekket folketingspolitiker, Velklædt, køn og flot, med en hemme-

lighed – hun passer sin handicappede bror. Stærk appeal, fremstår saglig, nøgtern og præcis som politiker. Ekstremt samvittighedsfuld. Skal være en type, der kan klare presset i handlingens forløb.

LARS HENRIK / LASSE Skurken.

På samme alder som Merete, ser godt ud.

UFFE LYNGGAARD Meretes bror – lidt yngre. Traumatiseret og tavs. Lyst hår, bredskuldret, smuk, stærke arme, høj, ranglet, lidt ludende. Godheden selv, men kan blive vild, hvis han bliver bange, eller der er noget han ikke forstår. MARCUS JACOBSEN Chef for Københavns Politis drabsafdeling. Går med læderjakke. Rodehoved. Ryger. Anses for at være knivskarp og kan huske alle detaljer i sager. Ca. 55-60 år. God, rolig udstråling.

LARS BJØRN Souschef for Marcus Jacobsen.

Mindre end Marcus og Carl. Uudgrundelig karakter, lidt farlig.

HARDY HENNINGSEN Meget høj, ca. 2,07. Blå øjne JESPER Carls papsøn.

Ca. 16 år.

MORTEN HOLLAND Carls logerende, i begyndelsen 30’erne.

Er lidt kraftig

MONA IBSEN Krisepsykolog. Lidt ældre end Carl. Brune øjne, mørke øjenbryn, blød hud, markeret mund med fyldig amorbue, svulmende bryster, kort tjavset hår, udtrykker klasse.
