Fan Cast: James Purefoy as The Joker
Why?:
I chose James Purefoy as The Joker. Purefoy has been in a lot of projects such as Solomon Kane, Rome, John Carter, and most recently The Following. Now his role in The Following is the soul reason why I think he would make a great Joker. As we all know, The Joker is a mad man, a psychopath, and just flat out crazy person whose one mission is to destroy everything around him including Batman. James Purefoy's character in The Following is very similar. He plays a psychopath killer with no regard for human life. They share the same resemblance there, but that is not the only reason why. In one of the most recent episodes, he comes face to face with the protagonist of the show and tells him "you will not kill me and I will not kill you. Why? Because we need each other we make each other feel alive, we push each other to keep going that next step". Now if that's not Joker to Batman talk right there, I don't know what is. Leading up to that scene I always thought Purefoy's acting in this role reminds me a lot of a live action Joker, but now I was sold after watching that scene. So James Purefoy, maybe work on a laugh? Learn to put white make-up on? Keep up the good work and maybe we could see you playing the clown prince of crime one day.

Fan Cast: Jensen Ackles as Matt Murdoch/Daredevil
For the last 9 years Jensen Ackles has been salting corpses and exorcising demons as the sexy Dean Winchester on CW's Supernatural. Jensen has the athletic build to be able to pull off Daredevil's physique. and the intimidating presence that demands respect in a court room. Hell, for 9 seasons he and Jared Padelecki have basically been doing what Matt and Foggy do, except instead of stopping human evil-doers they stop ghosts. So I think it's finally time for Jensen to take that the leap from demon hunter to superhero. He has been taking baby-steps towards super-heroism for years. Back in 2004, he played Clark Kent's football coach Jason Teague on season 4 of Smallville. Then in 2010, he voiced Jason Todd/Red Hood in the much beloved DCAU film Batman: Under the Red Hood. So now in the year 2014 with a Daredevil Netflix series preparing to cast it's lead role, I ask Jensen to put down the stake and pick a White cane and some sunglasses.
THIS FAN CAST IS DEDICATED TO MY BIG SIS, ANDREA. HAPPY 24TH, YOU OLD BITCH!

Tune in every Friday for a new Fan Cast! Who do you think should play the Joker? Who should play Daredevil?
The Following is a shit show
ReplyDeleteYou're obviously not Kevin Bacon since you're not a fan of Kevin Bacon.
DeleteJEnSEN ACKLES=JASON TODD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAckles seems like a nice compromise between blockbuster potential and established TV roots, but is he able to pull off anything else acting-wise besides brooding and being grumpy?
ReplyDeleteHis character on Smallville was a much more positive and less brooding person than Dean. When you are on TV for so long in one role the general public begins to only picture you as that character. For example who thought that Hal from Malcolm in the Middle could play a serious role. He proved the typecasting audience wrong and I believe Jensen is more than just a pretty brooding face.
