Casting Ideas For Casey Jones

thelouisguy · 07-03-2012, 02:25 PM

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?

thelouisguy · 07-03-2012, 02:42 PM

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...

*Slade* · 07-03-2012, 02:42 PM

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.

**Jester** · 07-03-2012, 03:19 PM

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.

Scud · 07-03-2012, 03:36 PM

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.

*Slade* · 07-03-2012, 04:02 PM

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.

Bob · 07-03-2012, 04:35 PM

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.

*KROW* · 07-03-2012, 07:53 PM

Jason Statham.

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

**Jester** · 07-03-2012, 09:19 PM

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.

*MikeandRaph87* · 07-03-2012, 09:29 PM

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.

*Mr.Turtle* · 07-03-2012, 10:03 PM

just the casey in the 1st movie.

*Slade* · 07-03-2012, 10:06 PM

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.

*zkarlette* · 07-04-2012, 12:23 AM

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