Hi all! First time poster here! I was just looking at the SA website and noticed that some of the boys have 2 character names. So Skylar plays Georg/Dieter. Brian plays Otto/ Ulbrecht. Who is the second character??

Thanks!!!!

*SPOILER*

When Melchior gets sent to the reformatory he encounters all these delinquents and those are those characters. They're much different than their first characters!

I'm sure most of you have seen this. But I found this copy of the script of the original SA. Pretty interesting!

Do they wear different costumes during those scenes to at least distinguish between the two characters that each actor plays?

It's pretty obvious. They are nasty, disgusting characters. (The scene is truly the void of emotion that any of the other sex scenes hold.) All of the boys are WONDERFUL in this scene.

They do wear 'reform boy' hats...but I can't remember if they change anything else.

They also speak with German accents, which they don't do as their main character.
