Lately as I'm rereading the novels I've been casting the characters in my head, since I found out about the possibility of a movie. In the blog it mentions perhaps Ryan Reynolds, but I think that would be a mistake, he's really not average enough and is a bit too goofy, I think.
My Jack suggestions [thus far]:
Jeffrey Donovan [burn notice]
Michael C. Hall [dexter]

Welcome to the board.
If you scroll back into antiquity, and even in recent months, you'll see there are approximately 1,789,422 threads on the casting of assorted Repairman Jack movies, specific characters, etc., etc. It's a hugely entertaining topic here, who should direct, who should play this part, that part, etc., etc.
Enjoy the board. It's a fun place to hang out.

Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.

After more than 15 years in development, I'm getting a little impatient. (Mostly wondering If I'll still be alive when the movie is finally released.)

I've never seen him in a movie, so I'm not qualified to comment.
And welcome to the board.

By the time it gets done he MIGHT be the right age.
Actually Reynolds is a pretty good actor. If you watch Smokin' Aces you'll see what I mean. But I will always see him as Berg from Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place. Or Van Wilder.
But I still think he is a bit too pretty for the role.
OH! And welcome aboard mate!

Welcome aboard.
I agree with Legion. Reynolds was good in Smokin Aces, but not as Jack. Since Six Feet Under, I can't see M C Hall in anything but Dexter.
I've always pictured Jack as John Cusack or Matt Damon (with facial hair).
