There are some characters that I cannot think of an actor to cast. One is Harold. It will have to be someone who is chunky now and willing to get skinny or willing to get chunky for the film and then get skinny. This would be a challenge for any actor. Another is Leo. I just am not familiar enough with child actors and I can't think of a Mother Abigail or Trashcan Man. This cast list is not complete by any means but some of the most important roles are here.
Rita Blakemore-An older sophisticated society woman. Brittle and sarcastic. She pops pills and easily takes Larry to her bed. But she is not strong enough to survive and her death weighs heavy on Larry. I think this would be a roll that Kim Cattrall could do in her sleep.
Lucy Swann-Sweet and kind Larry runs into Lucy, adding her to his group that already includes Nadine and Leo. She falls for him knowing his heart belongs to Nadine, she is his consolation after Nadine rebuffs his advances. He is good to her and loves her as much as he is able. Sweet faced Ginnifer Goodwin would be awesome for this role.
Judge Faris-Helps Larry by giving sage advice. A man his his 70s wise and caring. Goes to his death as a spy for the Boulder contingent. Malcolm McDowell has the gravitas to play this character plus I just love him.
Julie Lawry-Vain, rapacious and cruel, Nick runs into her with terrible consequences. She makes her way to Las Vegas and almost gets Tom killed. Brie Larson, the young actress from The United States of Tara, would be great here.
Once again comments are welcome along with your ideas. I have an updated list with new additions added on 8/8/2011.
i think maggie grace would be a great julie lawry, considering her role as saannon rutherford in lost, they are very similar in character
ReplyDeleteMaggie Grace is a very good choice. I didn't even think of her but she could play it very well. Unlike her character in Lost though, she is never redeemed and only gets worse.
