5 Star Day writer-director Danny Buday 5 Star Day Writer-Director Danny Buday Interview Pt.1 The casting of Cam Gigandet and Jena Malone. How did that come about? What was it like working with actors whose resumes include some very well-known movie credits? When I first met with [casting director] Shannon Makhanian, Joel Mendoza and Mike Robertson, Cam was at the top of her list. She had seen him in Never Back Down and after reading the script for 5 Star Day, she thought it’d be an interesting change for him to play a nice guy character as a dramatic lead. I was really looking for an actor who could be vulnerable enough to dig into the subtext of the story and bring a heart to Jake’s journey. We got Cam the script while he was in the UK promoting Twilight, and had lunch with him as soon as he got back into town.
