What about Dominic West? He doesn't really look the part. But I love him in The Wire.

my aunt actually introduced me to Jack to begin with, now I am a huge fan!
I am new to the boards, but when I read The Tomb, Edward Norton came to mind as my perfect Repairman Jack.
No one can convince me of any of these new, younger, hipper actors being a better Jack, than Edward could.
