A younger Asian man than David Carradine! Sheesh, it has been many a decade since I read the story, so what am I missing?
Harrison Ford?
I don't recall picturing any 60 year olds in that story.

4. Indeed, he was 200, IIRC. |
|
That's not the point. Who plays him?

7. yeah OK but did he look 200 |
|
...as we imagine 200?
My memory has really gone downh ill so I don't remember the details of the story at all. The only thing I really remember is the luck/coincidence bringing lady, and she should be written out, as luck/coincidence destroys the plot of modern moveis because it is too cheap.
No, I don't know who should play Wu truly. My gut says, I would assume in future that we would have genetic engineering and everyone would look around 25...so my first choice would be a cute unknown 25 year old Asian dude with no preconceptions on him?
I'm not very helpful, am I!!!

I think it's mentioned that Wu keeps his physical apparance at about that age, so most of the poll choices don't really match. It's not a big plot point, though, so I'll take Lance Hendriksen. Wu is sort of stoic, Frank Black was that in spades.

12. Louis Wu was always very ...coolly competent |
|
Or at least that's the way he came across to me. comfortable and functional anywhere. And that's how I see Kevin Spacey.
