Do I HAVE to play the Hannibal Lechter card again?  Anthony Hopkins gets my Nicodemus Vote.

Nicodemus is described as looking to be in his late 40's, Anthony Hopkins is too old imo.

*cough* Tom Cruise *cough*
 
Let's see how about George Cloony I think he would fit the profile just fine.

Sigh, do I have to get out the two by four, GW.
Repeat after me - NO TOM CRUISE not now - not ever.
As for Clooney - the only role he might be good for would be Nicodemus.  Very casting against type.
But he's a lot like Fillion, very puckish in looks in some respects.
NO Harry, no Michael, no Thomas, no Chandler, no Morgan.

Ah, he might be an interesting casting against type choice but up against Rickman or Oldman - he hasn't got the menace of those two.

Nah, I could never see Clooney being menacing enough for Nic.  I could maybe, maybe see him as marcone if he built up a little and played it very cool, calm and calculating.  However I'm just not sure it's in his range.

Nic should carry his years on him without showing it.
Clooney can do young menace but not eons old menace like Rickman or Oldman.

Had a great thought for Eb.  Fred Dalton Thompson.  He's older, balding and Southern.
He was the airport/control tower head in Die Hard 2.

Yeah, I just can't see having Clooney in a DF movie. You just can't take Clooney seriously enough and you need to be able to take Nic - and Marcone, too - very seriously. *graciously ignores GW's mention of Tom Cruise*

They'd just use the opposite of the tricks used to make the actors playing hobbits in LoTR seem half as tall, to make Tommy seem twice as tall, right?

This should probably go in the comedy thing, not here, but I can't resist.

Chuck Norris created the color black. In fact, Chuck Norris created every color. Except pink. Tom Cruise created pink.

NO TOM CRUISE FOR ANYTHING IN A DF MOVIE!!
End of rant.  Man can't act and would destroy the movie trying to make it fit him.
