Actors for Jack with a twist. - Biggles - 05-17-2006

Richard Kendrick Wrote:Who do you think will GET the part of Jack in the movie? NOT who do you like for it? or who would be good? just a prediction.

My prediction:













Seann William Scott Big Grin

Lately he's been warming up with a few action movies on the side.

RIK

Jon Anderson, former lead singer of Yes. He's about 62, but should be reincarnated by the time the movie begins filming. Jon will compose a bitchin' soundtrack and will record the music with "Yes II" a group composed of the sons of Bill Bruford, Rick Wakeman, Steve Howe, et al, and Jon on lead vocals of course.

I seem to be ever-increasingly in agreement with you on musical taste, Biggles.

I always picture Rocky Balboa's trainer as Abe. Not Burgess Meredith, the bloke who was The Penguin but the other one - I think his name is Burt Young?

But as to who will actually get the role? Well, it's in the lap of the execs. I'm sure suitability wont come into it. Popularity will. If the execs thought they could get Hanks or Cruise for the role it'd be theirs in a heartbeat. I cant see either of these guys as Jack but the bottom line is bums on seats and huge actors such as The Two Toms can pull bigger crowds than almost anyone......

Steve

The two Toms are well into their 40's , so I don't think they would work
The faces are too well known and if the early reviews are any indication of how terriblly slow and plodding Hanks' portrayal is in DaVinci Code, he may have most his ability to be an evryone type and to really put butts in the seats

If Jack is going to be played by a 20 something, then this definitely eliminates anybody past, I'd say 35..................

This site has actors listed by year of birth. If I recall correctly, FPW said he was around 27-28, but he may have turned a year older by now. So, our guy was born some time between 1977-79. There are a LOT of choices, many without pics, but there are short bios and notable performances.

Every time I read the names Ashton Kutcher or Sean William Scott, I die a little inside.

Have a few belts of hard liquor. It numbs the pain... a little. Sad

Ashton Kutcher!! :eek: Say it isn't so..........I hope he IS NOT considered. Too baby-faced for me!

Well, look at the bright side: you still don't agree with me on the important stuff, so your reputation is not irreparably damaged (yet). Big Grin
