Sheesh! And I thought I was a conspiracy theorist!!!
Alas, I am no-one of importance in the film community. Repeat. I am an
average guy who works very hard at being average and invisible (LOL), and am not (as much as I'd like to pretend) your mystery actor.
My name,however, is TOM, and I really do live in Council Tucky (not quite the name of the real city), Iowa (real state). Pat where did you get Iowa from anyhow? Council Tucky is a nickname for our fair city though, but I only thought the locals called it that (or them thar big city dwellers across the river!). I would award bonus points to the first one who tells me where I really live (I think Pat already knows).
Biggles,thanks for telling me your choice from the list! This has been driving my wife & I crazy trying to come up with who will be Jack! I think the key may be the phrase "big-name". In my mind only Leo,Orlando,Colin,Tobey & Heath might fall under that category if it's to be taken literally. FPW said he hasn't seen that much of him,but said he has to be able to play light and dark stuff (and has?). All the previous candidates surely would pass there.Tobey & Leo are just plain "big stars",even without the "young" part. I omitted Ashton because in no way,shape or form could he be Jack IMO. My choices personally speaking would have to be Heath Ledger, Orlando Bloom or Ryan Reynolds. Colin's face isn't that forgettable,and I just don't see him as Jack. Of those 3, Ryan Reynolds strikes me as more the everyman I associate (and picture in my mind) as Jack.
Please feel free to speculate further (but not about me. Crikey!)
