I've got some ideas myself but I haven't been very happy with them. It would have to be a younger actor, otherwise Michael Imperioli (who played Chris on The Sopranos) would be damn near perfect.

Danny Devito.

Takes a sexy motherfucker to play a sexy motherfucker.

So should I just expect that every answer is going to be an attempt at humor?

i mean ... yeah. maybe some serious answers mixed in but it has the look of a stunt question.

it appears teed up for humor.

Sigh. Yeah, I guess you're right. The only good match I can come up with is Timothée Chalamet and I'm not especially happy with it but it'll probably have to do.

Idk, but somehow Jared Leto is going to end up getting the role and shooting some randommiddle manager because he's such a "method actor".

[–] shadowplay@lemmy.wtf 6 points 1 month ago

I've already cast Jared Leto as Morbius.

Oh, I already know who's being played by Alec Baldwin.

Timothy Chalamet is right age and right level of pretty. I reckon he could pull it off.

Young Christian Slater would have been good.

If the movie was about him being completely blindsided by the wrongful arrest and was just unsure what was happening around him, then young Keanu Reeves would work well.

It's hard to come up with someone having no idea what his demeanor is like.

[–] shadowplay@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Let the screenwriter and director worry about his demeanor. Casting is about the look.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 1 month ago

Not necessarily. Or at least, not entirely. Different actors can have different strengths.

Young Jake Gyllenhaal?

pete davidson?
