Bountyhunter 1 and 2

two males, the antagonists of the story....'bad guys'
these two characters are bad asses, so actors should have a 'tough guy' look to them. tattoos/piercings/scars are great though not essential.

minimal speaking. ability to convey emotion effectively is very important.

if willing to change hairstyle for the film this is a plus, these two aren't conventional. bald or long hair would also be a great look.
