Damola Adelaja - TAG Damola was born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria until the age of 10 when he went to Bromsgrove in Worcestershire to attend boarding school . Studying so close to the Shakespearean influence of Stratford-on-Avon Damola developed an obsession with storytelling and drama, which he tried to channel into his first and post graduate degree in Communication Studies and Television journalism at Nottingham University. However, despite various jobs researching and presenting in Television, he couldn't shake his love of acting, and soon returned to it with a vengeance, playing Mercutio for the Tower Theatre, Islington's production of Romeo and Juliet, both at The Bridewell Theatre and at the Jardin Shakespeare, Paris. "My experience on Rag Tag is a testament to the term 'Independent Film'. The film was a labour of love in every sense of the word and every time I hear Rag Tag it reminds me of another family unit I can always rely on." Tag was also Damola's first major role and he has since gone on to film a TV pilot for Zoolander inspired Blue Steel and tour with a devised production at the Birmingham rep.

Tamsin Clarke - OLIVIA Tamsin combined her secondary school education at James Allen's Girls School with Drama classes at Guildhall School of Music and Drama. After her A levels, she went on to train as a Croupier, which has proved a reliable source of income between acting jobs. However, Tamsin is seldom available to deal at tables. Her theatre work includes The Rivals, Soho Stories, and Dreamland. She also appeared in Casino,Casino for Television, and played the lead in short film The Independent before landing her role in Rag Tag. "The film was a major learning curve for me, and perhaps the production I've been most involved in. I think it's a solid stepping stone for the future. Everyone formed strong relationships it was very much a team effort, with Adaora at the head" After Rag Tag Tamsin went on to work in The London School of Fashion's Production of Bluebeard and a tour with Clever-Pants Theatre Company in Spain and Portugal.
