How about Karl Urban as Jack? - Sev - 12-06-2010
Howdy!
If I missed it, I'm sorry; but did the movie fall through?

I mentioned him back in 2006: http://www.repairmanjack.com/forum/showthread.php?p=74791&highlight=urban#post74791
He is probably too old now to be "Jack".
And as an aside, he also portrayed Eomer in the Lord Of The Rings movies and (Webby should love this one) Woodrow Call in the Comanche Moon series.

Yeah...I could see that. I could TOTALLY see that. I may be late to the party,but after Star Trek and RED,I'd have to say Urban is fast becoming one of my favorite new actors. I think he could do a kickass job of playing Jack....or,possibly his grandkid could,depending on when the movie actually gets made:mad2:

Three years now, but when he is doing the fourth movie, he'll be my age, way to old([SIZE="1"]43[/SIZE]) to be Jack.
My next pick was Scott Foley, but he is 38, too old. We need someone 28-30, they can always make him look older if needed. What character actor is 28-30 and needs a big break? [SIZE="3"]BY THE POWER OF GOOGLE!![/SIZE]

Another guy I like, but he is too short is Scott Caan, but he is busy with "Hawaii 5-0". He is only 34, which is a little older then I would recommend.
After seeing "Brick" maybe Joseph Gordon-Levitt, he is the right age, he can act, he's 5'10", but he might need to bulk up some. Just an idea.

I'm not sure about Karl Urban, he doesn't have that "Unassuming everyman" quality that RJ possesses. I remember once I attended a FPW appearance where he said John Cusack would make a good RJ, of course he would probably be too old now to play him. How about Ed Norton or Sam Rockwell?

Both too old. We need someone around 30ish.

How about Chris Evans?

Sam Worthington is still my favourite pick but Karl Urban may just be versatile enough to pull him off. Anyone remember his numerous guest spots on Xena and Hercules as various characters (most notably Caesar, even Cupid if memory serves correctly)?? Talk about coming a long way.......:o

Get rid of some of his "pretty boy" and I think he could do it, but he is "Captain America" now, and I believe that is a 3 picture deal. So he'll be busy for awhile.

I can see Sam Worthington could do it also. What is he up to these days?
