Perfect Casting, part 2

[Shecky]

You found me out - I've ALWAYS visualized Eb as Uncle Jesse with a staff and robe. Seriously. Drop the cap and that's the spittin' image.

[Kali]

Yep, me too.   Ah Uncle Jesse... I always wanted an uncle like you.

[MoSeS]

Kris Kristofferson for Eb is a decent choice, I like this actor, but I picture Eb shorter and stalkier than Kristofferson, I only remember him in Blade as Whistler.


In my mind Eb looks like this.

Yes, Colonel Sanders. Though I realize Missourian is a bit different than Kentuckian.

Or he looks like Wilford Brimley,

Who is too old now.

My personal choice is Rip Torn.

*I have to right-click > show picture on this for some reason (Internet explorer)

Another suggestion awhile back was Tommy Lee Jones, at first I was no way, but then I saw this.


Robert Duvall is a good one too.

[Shecky]

Robert Duvall's definitely got the chops for the role.

He is a great actor, which is why I was more dissappointed in The Road.

I didn't even know he was in it, I watched it because I like Viggo, but I also dislike C Theron.
Anyway Duvall was a suprise to me when I saw him in the movie, but by the end of the movie I was like really?!? that's it?

The whole movie was super slow and boring to me.

Actually, you know what? Uncle Jesse is the reason that I'm so set on having Jim Beaver for the role. They look a bit alike, don't they?



Only difference is, Jim wears more plaid when he plays Bobby Singer than overalls, and his hair's still got color in it LOL. I love my rednecks.

Jim is very cool

Jim is very cool

No kidding! I love Jensen, Jared, Misha and everyone from Supernatural, but I think if I ever met them, I'd make a beeline for Jim and just give him a big hug, lol.

Awwww! I grew up with that show, too! It was literally a family affair -- my great uncle actually lived in the real Hazzard County for the longest time, and my dad and my brother started watching the show out of reverence to that fact. When I was old enough, I watched it with them, too Uncle Jesse was my favorite character. Such a shame that Denver Pyle is gone now

And as much as I like Willie Nelson, I wouldn't recommend him as the Jesse/Ebenezar hybrid.

No kidding!  Nothing against Willie Nelson, I like his music, but him as Uncle Jesse?  That's Just Wrong.  Harry, Molly, and Charity in a threesome behind Michael's back Wrong.  The kind of Wrong that can have cosmic repercussions.

But the whole movie was like that.  To be fair, the characters are so tightly linked to the original actors that nobody else could ever really be accepted in them for the old fan base.  Nobody can ever be Boss Hogg but Sorell Booke.  But Jessica Simpson as Daisy Duke?!!  A blonde Daisy Duke?!!!  And the people who made the movie didn't really respect or really 'get' the source material, either, IMHO.  (The Charlie's Angels movies had the exact same problem.)

What about Jeff Daniels for McCoy? top knotch actor, looks old but solid and energetic (when he's not the Dude), can definately pull off the dark taint thing, and the bald head.
Although if Jeff Daniels did star as McCoy, the person playing Harry would have to be a top tier tallent- there's no good to come from supporting actors outshining the star.
Thoughts?

jeff BRIDGES was the Dude in the Big Lebowski, jeff DANIELS was either Dumb or Dumber with Jim Carrey. Who do you mean?

[jbigelow22]

Bridges - had a duh moment....

[DrkHoax]

I would agree with Bobby from Supernatural for Eb.

yikes! there's an image I didn't want! lmao

The only good that came out of that movie was 1) the knowledge that Johnny Knox from Jackass can, in fact, do something other than stapling his butt cheeks together and in loose terms, it CAN be called acting and 2) the introduction of the amazing James Roday into my life. I have been hooked on Psych since the show first aired -- never even occurred to me that James was in that movie until I looked him up

Alas, Col. Sanders is no more...
