Ralf Sullino and director George Gromball both had the pleasure of searching for a suitable actor to play Gelch. [[Dog Alkarron]] was considered to be the perfect choice (Sullino even changed Gelch's eye color to match that of Alkarron's). A day after he was cast, Alkarron turned the role down due to other commitments. After many auditions from big names such as [[Clint Muhranes]] and [[Aaron Mischaval]], they cast actor Scott Zohnaal, who has been acting since the 1960s. Some people also believe Zohnaal was chosen because he was born the same year as Sullino. |

Frouth Mitchell Gelch is a fictional character in the Jord Stone universe. He is the antagonist of the first film, and he makes a cameo in the first video game. He is played by Scott Zohnaal in the film and by New Herswegian voice actor Dean Gulitz in the video game.
Character development
Frouth Gelch was loosely based on, and named after, a famous bank robber from Lohana named Frouth Pierce McClanahan. Jord Stone creator Ralf Sullino looked over news reports of vicious McClanahan's crime spree in Rourk in 1992, and saw it as anb inspiration for Frouth Gelch. According to Sullino himself, Gelch was supposed to be a "fictional version of McClanahan with the attitude of Russell Braph from 1985's McBelch. His vision of Gelch was a forty-something man with black hair, brown eyes, and a bad temper. Gelch's appearance in the video game was based off Scott Zohnaal's appearance as Gelch.
Casting
Ralf Sullino and director George Gromball both had the pleasure of searching for a suitable actor to play Gelch. Dog Alkarron was considered to be the perfect choice (Sullino even changed Gelch's eye color to match that of Alkarron's). A day after he was cast, Alkarron turned the role down due to other commitments. After many auditions from big names such as Clint Muhranes and Aaron Mischaval, they cast actor Scott Zohnaal, who has been acting since the 1960s. Some people also believe Zohnaal was chosen because he was born the same year as Sullino.
