Actor For Jack - Ken Valentine - 06-20-2004

Huh! Apparently I have only seen a few of those. I recommend, obviously, Saving Private Ryan. I love the movie She's the One, but most people find it average. (I think a big reason I like it is the soundtrack by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.) The Brothers McMullen is good also but more of a character story than a plot-driven movie. I also enjoyed 15 Minutes. BEWARE, though, that in none of these movies does he resemble the character of Jack, so don't be expecting that.
I saw Saving Private Ryan. What I remember most about the movie were the goofs.
What I meant by a different perspective was the difference between seeing a still photograph, and seeing movement. Seeing the actor look up, look down, turn his head . . . that sort of thing.
Most actors and actresses have a far greater range of visible emotions than we ever see on the screen. What we actually see depends upon the requirements (or instructions) of the director. So the "he doesn't have the dark side that Jack does" argument, is for the most part, invalid.

I don't know Texan accent. But he is actor. Actor can change the own accent, ...right?
Well I have never seen him in a movie were he didn't have his texan accent. Some of them he has been able to tone it down but it is still there.

Once again my vote goes to....Jeffery Donovan. Call me crazy, but there's something about the guy that makes me see RJ.

With a director now in place for Jack, the next step is casting him. And undoubtedly as we speak the script is out for who the director and studio are targeting. I'd imagine that will take place rather soon.
Of the two recurring choices for Jack, Ed Burns is in pre production on an untitled football film where he will be a former NFL quarterback and just recently finished a film where his character's name is Jack and his friend is Abe (Talk about coincidences). That probably eliminates Burns from consideration.
John Cusack has just signed for A Doll's House . So I don't think realistically either of these guys will be available unless BEACON is willing to wait. Somehow, I don't think so.

My vote is for Dennis Quaid. Strong, Sensitive and Nondescript.

...and 50 years old. He holds his age well, but for how long?

Dear god, he annoys the living hell out of me. Obviously, we will never all come to a consensus of who should play Jack, but the thought of Dennis Quaid playing him almost makes me want to cry.
