The Accused: Duvinder Singh 17 year-old Sonnell Dadral started acting after a school visit from the National Youth Musical Theatre. They were holding auditions in the hope of finding a number of young new actors. Dadral was offered his first acting role (as Captain Smalski in a radio adaptation of Bugsy Malone). He then won a part in a musical called Pendragon at the Lyric Theatre which Andrew Lloyd Webber moved on to Broadway. 'In all my wildest dreams I never thought I'd be on Broadway, especially not at the age of 14.' Dadral was offered the role of Duvinder after his father noticed an ad for open auditions in their local paper. 'I arrived with 35 other boys all of whom were desperate for the part. It was a long and quite difficult process -- watching and waiting as they whittled us down. I just couldn't believe that out of all the other boys I'd got the part.' The Jury started filming at a very crucial time for Sonnell -- he was in the middle of taking his first year A-Level exams. 'Trying to revise, learn my lines and juggle college with filming has been extremely difficult. I had very little time to devote to my studies but I couldn't have turned down such a great opportunity. And the whole cast has been so supportive, offering me lots of advice and encouragement, especially Antony (Sher). He is such a decent guy and it has been a fantastic experience working so closely with him. I haven't felt intimidated or nervous at all because everyone is just really lovely.'
