Fan Casting Mark Jefferson in My Life Is Strange Fancast

Outwardly, Jefferson appears to be a charismatic and charming man, an active and passionate photographer and teacher. He seems to care about the work of his students, making sure all of his students enter the "Everyday Heroes" Contest with a gentle reminder at the end of his photography class session in order to have a chance at progressing in their artistic careers. However, his dismissive treatment of Kate's problems as she asks for help in "Out of Time" already portrays him as somewhat callous and insensitive at that point. Jefferson seems to be cautious around the flirtatious nature of his student, Victoria Chase. Despite her efforts to flirt with him, he declines, especially as she becomes more explicit in "Chaos Theory". This could be because of the value he places on innocence. In reality, Jefferson is a cold, methodical, sadistic, and nihilistic individual, with an obscure obsession to capture the frame of "innocence" in others. He is obsessed with the idea of "capturing that moment innocence evolves into corruption", and is prepared to kill anyone who he deems a liability to him or his plans, stopping at nothing to achieve his personal objectives. He is willing to manipulate others to his advantage while making sure that they remain silent. Jefferson seems to have situations planned out well in advance. This, combined with his high intelligence and extreme cunning, allowed him to continue what he was doing while evading detection for a long period of time.
