Kevin Costner must play Fitzgerald in the movie.

[Lex]

I'm no Costner fan, but they look very similar to me.



Any other casting decisions?

[Wickerman]

1. But please, don't let him direct or produce!

:scared:

[TallahasseeGrannie]

2. I think Costner is too old

but I can't think of anyone else right off.

But we know Bonzo the Chimp will find work again!

[kenny blankenship]

13. Did "too old" stop Steve Martin from casting himself opposite Clare Danes?

[HereSince1628]

3. I think Tim Robbins look more like Fitz than Costner

[Lex]

5. Good I like him better anyway.

[HeeBGBz]

23. He does look similar

I like Tim Robbins.

[AlCzervik]

4. oh please no, he doesn't have to look like him, they can do

the hair up and get some pin stripes suit for whatever actor.

[eShirl]

6. ew

how about somebody who can act?

[kenny blankenship]

7. He'd hate me for saying it, but Phillip Seymour Hoffman for Karl Rove

[Duer 157099]

8. Oh yeah, definitely (poor Phillip Seymour) n/t

[Jacobin]

9. Wayne Knight is Karl Rove

Bush played by Kramer.

[Duer 157099]

10. No no no, Bush played by Chuck Barris of course! n/t

[Hamlette]

11. yeah, Costner if you want someone with flat affect.

Totally flat afflect. Has ruined several movies that might have been okay without it. Worst. Actor. Ever.

[FreedomAngel82]

12. Oh yes!

They do look a lot a like. Costner just needs glasses. And he knows how to play a prosecutor. Remember the JFK movie.

[Skink]

14. Dennis Leary for Fitz...

Nuff said. Wayne Night for Rove. Two thumbs up:headbang: .

[CTD]

15. Please god, no. My 5 yr old daughter is a more convincing actor.

He's AWFUL.

[flowomo]

16. see related post: Who will play Valerie and Joe?

[Zen Democrat]

18. Sharon Stone and Jeff Bridges

[Lex]

20. Oh that's good.

:thumbsup:

[flowomo]

21. check the other post: Cybil Shepherd is a great choice!

[femrap]

31. That is excellent casting!

Alec Baldwin as Fitz!

[Skink]

32. Sharon and Jeff for who?

[flowomo]

33. read the post that is in response to.... the link is there.

[KoKo]

17. EEUWWWWWWW...Disgusting! Costner ...GACK! (fur ball expulsion)

Sorry...I've had to "suffer through" Costner too many times.

Let's let the Coen Brothers pick a great "unknown."

[Zen Democrat]

19. He has already played Eliot Ness and Jim Garrison.

I say Tom Hanks for Fitzgerald.

[dalaigh lllama]

29. Yup. Tom Hanks. n/t

[HeeBGBz]

22. Kevin Spacey

Would be kinda cool.

[kenny blankenship]

24. Wouldn't he be better used as our Irving?

Aka "scooter" Libby? Needs a wig. But he always needs a wig.
We need someone for Libby who can be arch and cold and superior--an American Jeremy Irons only not so tall or slow of speech. Now Fitzgerald on the other hand should be played by someone who is of no intrinsic screen interest whatever. He should be bland and button-down and whitebread and boring.

[dancingme]

25. Russell Crowe for Fitz

and before you gag, remember that Crowe did a brilliant job of playing the big tobacco whistle blower in "The Insider". Crowe is one of those actors who becomes the character and transforms himself physically into the character.

[Hardrada]

26. Viggo Mortenson

We don't need exact look-alikes just heroic figures!

[mondo joe]

27. William Peterson - he's practically there as Grissom already. n/t

[the_spectator]

28. TOM HANKS, clearly!

HE'S the one who looks like Fitz! That photo you posted has Fitz looking VERY Hanksian. Tom could play the buttoned-down, honest Fitz very well!

I liked Costner in The Untouchables, and other movies, but really people, this one is a no brainer!

[Tiggeroshii]

30. I don't understand how you guys don't see Tom Hanks

He's clearly the one...
