The Film: Alpha Dog is all about what happens when you get too big for your boots.
A group of middle-class Californian kids enjoy waving guns around and dealing drugs. It all goes horribly wrong when they kidnap the 15-year-old Zack, whose brother owes money. Turns out they've bitten off more than they can chew.
We'd say "poor Zack", except that his life seems to turn into one long party. It's a "fun" sort of kidnap.
The Role: Amber is Alma, a blonde floozie who's part of a threesome with Zack in the swimming pool. See what we mean about the "fun" kidnap?!
Amber Nectar: Amber purrs one of our favourite quotes from the movie: "Have you ever been laid, Stolen Boy?"
Yeah. Poor, poor Zack.

I don't want to sound like I'm having a go but, what's the point in doing the evolution of a second rate bit part actress who probably won't be around for long? It amazes me that you'll give all this time and space to someone who features in a load of (and I quote) balls and predominantly 2 star movies when you haven't mentioned once! the passing of Richard Todd who died last Friday. How about using this empty space for a celebration of his work?

Ok, while I get what you're saying, and from a movie point of view, it's fair enough, I feel it's more than a little insensitive to describe Zack's experience in Alpha Dog as a "fun kidnapping". Taking into context it is based on a true story and that Zack (the real life Nicholas Markowitz) is pointlessly murdered at the end of his experience I think that super seeds any element of fun. I doubt the real life parents would see it in that way anyway. So I think 'poor Zack' is entirely relevant as I'm sure he'd have given up the booze, weed and threesomes to have lived past 15 years old. Wouldn't you?
