Everyone inevitably comes forth with suggestions of who would fit the mold of a certain character. I’ve heard everything from Vincent Cassel to Crispin Glover to Joseph Gordon, all based largely on their appearance. Here’s my point though: before the movie even started casting, how many people were petitioning for Heath Ledger to get the part? Not any that I recall, but he ended up being a fantastic choice even though he didn’t seem like a good fit to many. I think that if/when the role is recast, they should do the same and find another actor who isn’t what most people are expecting.
