Matthew Pohlkamp as Mr Collins 

Matthew Pohlkamp interestingly took up acting for stress relief. Pohlkamp who at the age of ten found his passion with BMX bicycle racing, quickly climbed his way to the top of the sport turning professional at age 20. With a world title to his credit, he still competes in the Masters Professional division at the international level.  He turned to acting to get away from the rigors of athletics. He plays Rachel's father Mr Collins in the film, who appears at first to simply be an overprotective father. But we soon discover there is more to it.
