New guy to play Jack! - GeraldRice - 08-15-2006
He's got a mouth like a duck. Besides that, it seems most of the women here want a Jack who is good-looking. Jack is an everyman. If he's good-looking then he'll get noticed. People would watch him. If anything, it would be better for Jack to be hideous. Ed Norton is still my number 1 to play Jack. He has a face that's easy to forget.

Lisa, don't Mel Gibson yourself. Just come out with it already and say British people start all the wars. We all know they do.

Ron Eldard is still my choice:

I agree. However, Ron Eldard has a really interesting raspy voice which I find sexy. I bring that up because it's the kind of voice I would remember. And Jack doesn't want to be remembered for anything.
I wonder what The Man would have to say about distinctive voices on actors playing Jack.

You could always voice him over with say... Pee Wee Herman?

What does British-looking mean?

I beg to differ. I first spied young Sean in the Disney classic (NOT!) "Darby O'Gill and the Little People." I saw it at a drive in movie when I was 7 and Sean was 29. Although I was a wee tyke, I developed a crush instantaneously. I've been nuts about him ever since.

XamberB Wrote:What does British-looking mean?Good question because it can mean different things to different people. I am at a loss to put it into words, because, for me, faces can look British for different reasons. This guy is so thin, and there's something about the width of his forehead and the narrowness of his lower face that, when put together, spell "British" for me. Often it's an aquiline nose and thin-to-nonexistent lips.
There's more to it, but that's the best I can do for now.
