Who should star in Infected (the movie)?
Pretend for a moment the movie version of Infected is in the works. If you were casting actors for the parts in the book, who would you want to see on the screen and in which role?

Good call, I just don't know if Laurie's acting style would make for a really gritty, surly character interpretation. His character on House always strikes me as just an arrogant prick. He is a great actor though.

 

Ted Danson... uhh, only if Whoopi gets to play Dr. Montoya. 

Just run the plays I call, Barnes!

and buy about five feet of the biggest chain they have, then hang it up in my office with a tag tied to it that just says "Command"... and then wait patiently for the first person to ask what the chain is for :)

True story, when I was a squad leader in the Army I had a small ammo case that I had stenciled "Whoop-Ass" on the side of. That way I could always threaten to "open up a case of whoop-ass" on my joes. It was all in fun & everyone thought it was amusing. Well, everyone except that one jerk-face 1st Sgt we had for a while, but that's another story.

That's pretty darn close to the mental picture I had of him too. Somhow I doubt Mr. Snitsky's acting chops are up to the part though.

Or he could be the next Anthony Hopkins or Morgan Freeman. Still, my money's on him being closer to Nicolas Cage Smile

Oh yeah, I was meaning the mental picture thing.  LOL

I don't think that bloke would carry a major motion picture by the FDO.

after his role commitment in 16 Blocks, I could see him as a Dew kind of guy.  Thought he did that one wonderfully

I hadn't really considered O'Quinn before.

He's got the drawl and the age is right. Also he's worked SciFi already.

I do like Tommy Lee Jones. I think he might be able to pull off the part, but I'd have to see him audition first. xD

But I still like the Idea of R Lee Emery as Dew also. He's got that been there done that look and a gritty take no shit attitude....

He might be able to pull it off. Theres just something about his voice that doesnt always come across as all bad ass.

Re: Who should star in Infected (the movie)?

As I listened to Infected and Contagious, I always saw this actor during Dew's scenes. I think a lot of it has to do with the FDO's performance. This guy is perfect. He's got that Dew shit eatin' attitude.  He can be seen in the FX series, The Riches, Slither, the HBO series, Hung, and many other roles. Plus, he's not a big star, so as not to take you out of the movie. By the way, I know Dew is written as being horseshoe bald, but that's easily done during filming.( He appears sans hair in Hung )

Longworth, the CIA guy. Seems a little too polished for Dew.

I don't believe I've seen him before, but he definitely looks like he could pull off the part of Dew.

I suck at names, but that's who he reminded me of when I saw that picture.

That's it. You've hit the nail on the head.

Got to Agree.  though I think he'd have to grow a mustache...I don't know why, but I always saw him with a mustache.

Re: Who should star in Infected (the movie)?

He does apathetic and sarcastic really well, but maybe that's because that's all he's been offered.  He had flashes of bad assery in 'The Fugitive' and he can definitely do commanding...it's just a question of whether or not he can pull off sounding like he's fought in a war and stabbed an enemy through the heart with a flagpole...that takes a bit of bad assery!!

Re: Who should star in Infected (the movie)?

The only role Tom Cruise can play HALFWAY convincingly is himself.  He has no dimension.  I'd like to see either Gary Oldman or Michael Ironside as Dew, and Selma Hayek as Montoya.  Throw in Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson as Otto for some nice sexual tension.  For Perry, I'd love to see Vin Diesel, but I don't know if he can do redneck...
