The best actor to play Casey Jones in sequel? - Page 12

PurpleMusic · 02-24-2015, 04:11 PM

Andy Samberg just totally rubs me the wrong way.... Casey Jones should actually be believably tough, not a magnet for furious, annoyed punches.

They need to cast somebody who is like Elias Koteas, The original Casey Jones.

OMG, we actually agree on something!

Samburg is neither funny, nor interesting. Might as well cast Adam Sandler.

And B-man, that list is coming...

Casey Gilmore....

How about Sam Rockwell as Casey Jones? Though he might be too old, It says hes 46 years old

massakre · 02-25-2015, 02:46 PM

Ryan Reynolds would've been perfect for this maybe 10, 15 yrs ago if they're going with a younger Casey

I thought about that, but it's not really the right casting...I love him in everything, and it would be a nod to the 1990 film, but, he's not really "Jones".

Casey is a bruiser, and a jock and a chauvinist- not sure they can ever do that type again though. The Casey Jones character (1990 film) is basically a Douche-bag in today's world.

For me, it's always about type casting, and looking the part is very important, for me. I know some will argue it's about "acting" but fan-casting is fan-casting, so, what eves.

It's really too bad that Jason Momoa is playing Aquaman. He's completely miscast. He would have been the right "type" to play Lobo, or even...Casey Jones. Joe Manganiello has a similar look, but doesn't seem as intense somehow, (possibly just what I've seen them in coloring my perception). I don't know if either have ever played a "witty' character, or if they would be convincing...but physically, that's what I'd be looking for in any actor for the role. A dark featured, hyper masculine guy, with an edge.

He's not, to me at least, Adam Samberg, some jewish comic with a golf-bag and terrible one-liners. He's not some tattooed wrestler, or a trained MMA fighter. He could be re-written to be that, but that's not who I see in my head when I think Casey Jones. I think "crazy" but with a touch of wit, who might be good in a fight, but not "trained". He's just a dog that's been beaten one too many times. I think he could be almost as crazy as Tuco in Better call Saul's second episode, but physically imposing on top of deranged.

I can't really pin it down, but if you mixed John McClane, Rambo and Schwarzenegger into one guy, you'd be close. A walking 80's stereotype of the male hero.

Then again, I don't think Megan Fox when I think April, so... meh?

only time ive seen him play a jock is flash

and i bet if anything he fits in the eye candy world bay loves along with not being to expensive

LeoRaph · 02-26-2015, 06:50 PM

Paul Dano then.

But seriously Casey Affleck could do the role justice especially if he goes in the direction of Out of The Furnace but would he work for Bay in a movie to sell toys? So yeah maybe Josh Duhamel or a new guy.

Why would you even suggest him?

I don't know, its cause he was in the 1990 TMNT movie, Though he was a teen in that movie. So if you had cast him if he was that age, He wouldve been a good Casey Jones today.

Not gonna lie but after reading this I could only think of Sean William Scott and Ryan Reynolds. Jock- douche bro that is likeable for some reason.

I warned you... I'm good at this.

How about Logan Lerman?

I thought he was really good in his role as Percy Jackson and with the right Make-up he would be a great as Casey (I think

).

If they were going the Nick route, it would make sense, but clearly they are not. Not to mention a 29 year old actress With a guy who looks 14 (even if he is 23)

I wouldn't buy it.

He's also not really a tough guy...jones should be manly, not boyish.

Bravotello · 03-01-2015, 08:06 PM

Would it be a bit odd if I said Casey Jones should be played by Hugh Jackman?

I mean he played roles of characters that were edgy before and he's 46 but he looks like he's in his late 30's to me. Assuming Casey is gonna be an adult of course. If it's a teenager then I would say Logan Lerman is actually a good idea.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 03-01-2015, 09:39 PM

I'll say it again, because nobody made fun of me last time...

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson?
