#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

Regarding the film Antiviral (2012), who was the oldest cast member at time of filming, how old were they, and what was their role?

#M ANNOTATED LLM RESPONSE

In the 2012 film "Antiviral," the oldest cast member at the time of filming was the veteran Canadian actress Dawn Greenhalgh.

Oldest Cast Member Details:

Name: Dawn Greenhalgh
Age at time of filming: She was 78 years old. (Born April 16, 1933; filming took place in late 2011, primarily around November).
Role: She played the character Jane, who is the landlady of the protagonist, Syd March (played by Caleb Landry Jones).

Specific Detail on the Role:

In the film, Greenhalgh's character, Jane, appears in a scene where she interacts with a deteriorating and feverish Syd March at his apartment building. She provides key plot exposition by informing him that a group of mysterious men (later revealed to be from a piracy group) had been at the building looking for him. Her character serves as a bridge between Syd’s clinical professional life and the increasingly paranoid and dangerous reality of his domestic life as his health fails.

Malcolm McDowell (who played Dr. Abendroth, the virologist infatuated with celebrity Hannah Geist) was born in June 1943, making him 68 during filming.
