Perfect Casting, part 2

[badassassin]

Ramirez: Joseph Gordon Levitt

i'm a fan of this

[Tempus Corvus]

On the one hand, I really don't like it when they ignore a character's ethnicity when casting an actor. On the other hand, Joseph Gordon Levitt is pretty awesome.

Also, I feel the need to remind everyone that, with a little makeup work to deal with the wrinkles, Rutger Hauer would make a damn good Lord Raith.
Here's what he looks like these days:


And here's how he used to look:

It's a single stroke ' for feet and a double stroke " for inches, Icecream.

[bad joke] you would think its the other way around [/bad joke]

[Sean 'Bjørn' Blackstone]

Idk why I didnt see this before.

NOOOO... he's cute but Matt Bomer is better:



The picture that makes all the girls swoon! *faints*

[uncanny]

Eb: Robert Duvall
Morgan: Clancy Brown (as soon as someone said the Kurgan, I knew who he was.  Yes)

I have to be honest... Robert Duvall isn't the first actor I think of when I think of "Old, wise, patient".  He's good in some roles, don't get me wrong - but Eb?  Nah.
I'd say Gerard Butler but.. he's a bit too young.  James Cosmo if you want someone rough around the edges and weathered enough to look like he's tended a farm his whole life (James Cosmo is the old guy that gets progressively damaged in Braveheart)
Or.. what about Billy Connolly? [ducks and covers]

[Tempus Corvus]

I'm still going with Jeff Bridges for Eb. He's supposed to be bald and bearded, and, well...


Besides, he's JEFF BRIDGES.
[Truth be told, I don't know if Billy Connolly would work. I've only seen him in 2 movies, and I barely remember them.]

Yeah, I can see him as Eb.  I can see him calling someone 'Hoss'.
And I can see that Bomer guy as Harry.
And I think the Rock would look quite out of place in Russia.
And my first choice for Ramirez was Mario Lopez, but I think he got shot down, so JGL.

Fits the age, can do the personality, and the ethnisity...Jim said Will Smith could do Harry sooo

[Warden John Marcone]

alright. Holy crap. every body just hold on. stop where you are.

Grab the pitchforks!  Light the torches!  GET HIM!

I can see Duvall as Eb, but my GOD would Jeff be perfect.  He's not QUITE old enough, but I can see it.

I think Matt Bomer would make a perfect Thomas.
Check out Chris Pine - he looks a lot like Bomer - he could play Harry.

Actually I really like that choice, as a pair.  But is Pine tall enough?

Height is something that will, to a degree, go by the wayside I'm afraid.
Paul Blackthorne was and is a rarity in Hollywood - most actors are just NOT that tall.
The one comedian - Brad whatshisname that was on Ray Romano show - he's another.
But I believe that Pine is six foot or so.  If he and Boomer are of similar heights then
it's all good.  A little bit of someone standing on an apple box in some scenes and you've got it.
