Perfect Casting, part 2

A candidate for Ramirez: Rick Gonzalez


He has good comedic acting chops, and I've seen him in some smaller dramatic roles. I haven't seen anything where he has swagger exactly like Ramirez, but I'm fairly certain he could pull it off.

He looks a little old, IMO. Ramirez is 20 in DB per WoJ, so he's 17 in his first appearance in SK. I considered Thomas Dekker for the role, but he's not hispanic.

I tend toward agreeing with you, in the next couple years they could probably swing it via good make up and costume design.

Do we know Ramirez actual age? All I remember in Dead Beat is that he is younger than Billy.

I still pick Joseph Gordon Levitt for Ramirez.  He's not hispanic, granted.  But he has very dark hair and a little time in the sun and he could pull it off.  And he still looks like he could play a teenager.

WoJ states he's 20 in DB. Since Billy's in grad school in the same book, this seems reasonable.

Also, you about this guy for Marcone:

Missed that WoJ, so yeah, Gonzalez is probably too old at this point to swing that.

Eh, my main concern would be having someone who can accurately play Ramirez. As long as they have the appropriate amount of swagger and sincerity it would be acceptable.

Also, how awesome would it be if Ramirez was a back flipping dog—pretty awesome. Only if it had swagger though, and was capable of lip syncing.

Too short

If the magic of cinematography can make Tom Cruise not look anything resembling his actual height, they can do the same for others (or make them shorter).  I totally enjoy looking at Viggo Mortensen, but I haven't seen anything that leads me to think he has the needed snark.  (But I don't watch movies much, so maybe there's something out there?)

No, I've seen him try to do snark. It .... isn't pretty.
