Casting Ideas For Casey Jones
 

Discussion started in Casting Ideas For Shredder. Again, assuming Casey Jones will be in the new movie. I know that it will be difficult to beat Elias Koteas as the beat Casey Jones ever (and yes, I know he was the only Casey Jones). Any thoughts?

EDIT: Sorry, I had not seen the original thread Cast TMNT (2013). I started this thread based on the Casting Ideas For Shredder thinking it was a stand alone thread. Please see the original thread and search it for "Casey Jones" and there are a lot of great suggestions there as well.

I could see Punk as Casey. He is a Turtle fan, ain't he?

I know he is a comic book fan. Have not seen him mention anything about TMNT in particular. I tweeted him the link. He will probably ignore it, but who knows; maybe we can plant a seed...

Yeah I agree. Punk does have the look. I think he could do it.

I don't know about TMNT, but I know I've heard he's a comic fan.

Edit: I'm slow. Scratch the last sentence

How about Seann William Scott.
He was great as a hockey thug in Goon. :teek::trazz:

He may have been Casey already, and now is probably to big as he's now Captain America, but I think Chris Evans would make a good live action Casey.

How about Ryan Gosling.
Like Chris Evans, he's too big a star now, and not sure how he would look with longer black hair, But from what he did in "Drive" I think he could do an awesome Casey.

~S~

Evans and Gosling don't have that 'rugged' look to them. Of course maybe Casey doesn't have to have that look either.

How about Thomas Jane, Colin Farrel or I even saw a picture with Casey's mask and Jarrod Padel(Sam from Supernatural). Maybe him or Jensen...or...nah, maybe not.

All of those guys, except Jared Padelecki, are too old for the role.

I would go with Padelecki, Taylor Kitsch, or maybe Joe Manengiello (?).

I also think Alexander Skarsgard could be good.

I was thinking of Taylor Kitsch. He's a Hollywood pretty boy, for sure, but he's got that rough and rugged look, too. I would be nervous if he got cast, though, as he seems to jinx your box-office chances.

How is Colin Farrel too old but Joe Manengiello and Alexander Skarsgard who are only months younger not?

Skarsgard is to tall and blond to be Casey.

I think if we want a Koteas-esque Casey we need an actor with a bit of a comedic edge like Ryan Reynolds.

The 90's kids in me says Jason David Frank! Though it won't happen.

Thomas Jane sure, but I don't think Colin Farrell is to old.

I thought about it more though and I think Padelecki would be decent.

just the casey in the 1st movie.

As great as he was as Casey, he is really to old.

I don't know about you but his hair looks pretty dark to me.

And even if Colin Farrel is sound their age, he looks older than them.

If age didn't matter I was thinking of Jon Hamm...

James Franco

After watching 127 Hours, I agree.

After watching General Hospital I also agree.... I mean, watching my wife watch General hospital..... yeah, that's it.:twink:

I still do believe that CM Punk would make a great Casey Jones. But the following would be great as well.

Joe Manganiello would be a good choice.

Jason David Frank would be a good choice as well.

Go...go... Tommy....go!

JDF is way too old as much as I love him.

Too much age and not enough acting talent. WHOA!

as long as it's not too pitch will be fine....its only a voice anyways.

Um, we're discussing the new movie version of Casey, good sir.

heh heh...was joking...

Riiiight...

Captain! Is it time to press the emergency button?...

that's who I was going to post...

Quoting myself from the old casting thread:

I also think Joe M. could make a great Casey and he's stated in interviews he's a huge original comics fan for the Turtles so he would probably be very interested in doing the film. It would honestly come down to how old they want the characters to look.

I'm going to go against the grain and say that I don't want Casey in this film. Bring him in later, if necessary, but I don't want him in this story.

CM Punk...

Definitely someone a fair bit younger than Jason Statham anyway.

I want casey in every story. hes part of the team.

Add me to the Punk vote, although if they couldn't get him, Alex Shelley wouldn't be bad either. They look kind of similar, and Shelley is 100x more obnoxious than Punk. Thanks to the first movie I kind of like Casey as a dick, rather than a putz as he was in some of his other portrayals.

Hard to say who else, I see more wrestling than anything else, so I'm not good at picking actors.

If they go with a younger Casey, I dunno... perhaps the guy who plays Hal on "Falling Skies"?

The secondary characters seem to get younger with every iteration, so yes, I think Hal would make a good Casey.
