The biggest problem I have casting the under 40's is that you have to constantly change around as your mind's favorites are ground down by papa time.
With that in mind I was looking at some younger folk for the roles here, and saw what I thought was a good fit for Murphy, not quite old enough now, but fine by the time any likely shooting would start:

Thoughts?

Ok. I only have one firm suggestion, and I fully realize that it's kind of out there, but I can't help it. This guy is whose face popped into my mind as soon as I was introduced to John Marcone: Howie Mandel.

[Murphy's Stunt Double]

oh, you're kidding me! Right?

[graogrim]

I am completely serious. I mean think about it: Take Howie, add a few pounds and a little bit of gray on the sides, and he is totally gangster material. I can't help it. In my mind, that is the face of Gentleman John Marcone.

[Murphy's Stunt Double]

all righty then.... Actually, the more I think about it, the less ridiculous it sounds. But he'd have to grow hair again.

[graogrim]

He's gotta stay shiny on top. A little on the sides should be ok though. I mean *just* a little.

[jadis402010]

I don't know, when I read the books, when it comes to Thomas, I don't picture Matt Bomer...sorry.

[Vash the white]

I must ask, who is this matt bomer? sorry

[Shecky]

I must ask, who is this matt bomer? sorry

Star of "White Collar". Handsome dude.

[graogrim]

Yeah I gotta say when I read Thomas, I don't even picture a real person. More like something out of anime.

Thanks, just looked him up, got to say, i can see him as thomas, but i can't at the same time

[j3nnee]

The sad thing is... when I read Changes I absolutely saw Matt Bomer in the role of Thomas from the moment I started reading. The only issue I have is as I finished the book up i had to change my mind about if I really wanted him to play that role as it plays out. But I can see him doing it. It just popped out in my mind that he could do it and he was there as I read. It was like WHOA And when I read I see the scenes as if I'm watching a movie or tv show. So as I think of people who could play the role they either pop in immediately or over time as i reread the books.

But that's just my take... along with that yummy Thomas looking pic of him here:

And I will keep posting that pic to get more of you girls getting the 'vapors" from looking at him.
