Father Abraham character profile

 Father Abraham:

Father Abraham is in his late 30’s and around the height of 5ft 10in with brown hair and a tanned complexion, these features are accompanied by his piercing stare and the aura of dominance he exudes regardless of the company he is in. He is manipulative of Sister Judith and calculating in the manner he gets rid of her to stop him from being incriminated in his crime. He takes a particular enjoyment in her rejection from the church after her impregnation by him, of which she does not try to incriminate him due to his formal position and social influence within the church.

The character of Father Abraham is inspired from Hannibal and several other characters. His mannerisms have largely’ been lifted from Mads Mikkelsen’s portrayal in the television series ‘Hannibal’, particularly his piercing stare and detached but earnest nature. Moreover, I admire a scene in the 2006 film ‘No country for old men’ popularly known as ‘What’s the most you’ve ever lost on a coin toss?’ for its tension and suspense. Within our film we hope for Father Abraham to emulate and capture the performance of the film’s antagonist ‘Anton Chigurh’.

  Anton Chigurh aloof and tense nature as well as the facial expression, shown as the image for this clip, initially formulated the idea for the character of Father Abraham.
