Charlotte Brittain - amazing actress

Anyone have any idea if she stayed in acting or went on to do something else? She is a joy to watch in this brilliant film :)

I agree about her brilliant portrayal. IMBd says that she was in another movie playing a wrestler, but then that is it. All of the actors, while new, were good. Ben enjoyed a brilliant stage career before becoming a barrister and Brad Gorten had a TV career before becoming a salesman in London. Stacy is enjoying being a mother and doing minor roles. See twitter @almoststace.

If you want more info, see http://www.bensilverstone.com/ which is being maintained by @petershaw. It is not being updated except I had him advertise a recent showing of the film in London.
A friend in Sri Lanka did an archive search of the previous site which includes more facts: http://wayback.archive.org/web/20050206180106/http://bensilverstone.net/bsfanfiction.asp

Hey, thanks for your response and apologies for the late reply. I tried accessing bensilverstone.net but it's not working, maybe it's out of action these days. Would love if there was more info on Charlotte Brittain on a fansite. She was outstanding in this film, really liked her as an actress.

The fan site seems to be down or completely removed. I have asked the site creator as well as others that I know that were connected with the film, but no one seems to know why. It is (was) the best fan site IMO. Stacy Hart is on Twitter by the way as @almoststace

It's a pity the fansite has been removed from the web as it was indeed a great one. I have just discovered Mark Alldridge's website which has detailed info from his time working on 'Get Real' and has brilliant on set and cast & crew photos!

Mark and I have become friends. If you contact him from the web site, he will most likely respond. He is a banker. He went to a recent reunion showing of the film and took those pictures on his web site.

Saw the photos from the reunion on his website, great to see!! Would be good if at (hopefully) next reunion, perhaps the 20th anniversary, they could get some more of the cast and crew together! Well done for Mark, Ben, Stacy and the others who made it to the recent reunion :)

Stacy seems to be the only cast member still in the entertainment industry-in Basingstoke, All of the others don't even have any internet history since the early 2000's. Except Ben who is a very talented and successful barrister in London. Ben stayed in the industry until 2009 and then 'took his calling" and became a barrister. He worked with the Daily Mirror snooping scandal and got notoriety after that. Mark tells me that Ben transitioned and never looked back, though he remembers the movie fondly. I believe that he and Charlotte WERE the movie.

I don't follow movies or people like this one, but when I first saw it on youtube 3 years ago, it just grabbed me and never let go.

FYI, the websites are back and running.

I loved her in this movie. Steven should have treated Linda better than he did. He ignored her too much. That's my main complain about the film; otherwise I loved it. It's my favorite gay themed movie.
