I would have to agree with you there, Susanita. Either Burns or Edward Norton.
Have you seen She's the One, with Edward Burns and music by Tom Petty?

No, I haven't. I'll have to rent that one.

Don't look now, but there's a contract out on you.

I will agree that Edward Burns looks ordinary, as the Jack character must. In Gateways, the math tells us that Jack is 36, ergo the Jack character in the movie must be about 34-35. If RJ is to be a franchise, we realistically should have an actor about 30, who can play the role until he's 40, assuming that the movies would be at least 2 years apart. Burns seems to have the correct hair and eye color (?), but is his physique correct? Let's face it Susan; you want Edward Burns to play Jack for the same reason the younger girls would want Orlando Bloom; and I want Charlize to play Gia. Or am I wrong?

Chris O'Donnell will be 34 in June and is 5'11". He has dark hair and eyes. On the other board, I was half kidding when I mentioned him, but he fits the profile better than John Cusack (my favorite for the role). Cusack is about 38 already, and would be 40 by the time the movie was released, making him too old (perhaps) for more than one sequel.

I think you guys are putting way too much emphasis on physical attributes. Hair and eye color can be changed, as can physique by working out. Height doesn't really matter that much in my opinion unless you are going to have him stand next to a ruler. Hugh Jackman is 6'2" in real life and the comic character of Wolverine is only about 5'4" and that didn't ruin the movie.
