Mood Board #8: Character - AGENT DAVIDSON

The picture we chose for Agent Davidson is of Jeremy Renner in the film The Bourne Legacy. First and foremost, he shares several physical attributes of Agent Davidson, (whose role will be reprised by the inspiring Lee Davidson) such as the short blonde hair and the way that he moves around. The picture featured in the moodboard shows the character doing a jump in much the same way that Lee would chose to do the stunt. Jeremy Renner in the film plays a relatively young, but still experienced secret agent, which is exactly the same as the character Agent Davidson. The roles are very similar in many respects.

Agent Davidson is very much the standard Jason Bourne/Jack Bauer style secret agent. I don't like the term secret agent, as it makes him seem like a spy - perhaps government agent would be a better term to describe his job. Agent Davidson is very highly trained at combat, and knows how to use his fists in a fight. His fighting technique is very intelligent, easily being able to turn random objects to his advantage. He is a better fighter than Lucas Thorne, mainly because of his age, but he is less intelligent, making the two of them together a most formidable team. Davidson works for the fictional government agency the L.E.E (pronounced 'L double E') and is an expert at infiltrating criminal organisations.
