Da Vinci question: Who'd have made a better Robert Langdon? OK, the critics are ripping Da Vinci Code to shreds, and part of their complaint has been that Tom Hanks, by all means a great actor, just isn't the cerebral, yet dashing, hero the story requires. That said, who would you have cast?
I honestly can't think of many American actors who fit the bill: Handsome, early 40s, an air of bookish authority, yet vaguely sexy, who isn't carrying too much movie baggage. I can think of a ton of Brits -- Ralph Fiennes, Clive Owen, David Morrisey, for example. But no Americans, 
Vincent Donofrio... but he's too teddy bearish. George Clooney... but he's so campy, I couldn't take him seriously in this role Russell Crowe... but can he play "smart?" [Edited 5/19/06 7:46am] [Edited 5/19/06 7:48am] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Should have been Andrew Ridgeley. He would have kicked ass in the role.

Vincent Donofrio... NEVA! he should be bannedfromacting for a while.
George Clooney... Too rugged. Russell Crowe... but can he play "smart?" Can he play smart? Have you seen his movies? He can play ANYTHING... I stay with Patrick Dempsey. He's got the charm the role needs and has that Ford factor... AND THE RIGHT BLEEDING AGE! |

[Edited 5/19/06 8:18am] I have no idea how to answer that. He just seems cool and he can handle British and American accents with ease. | |
