Adam Baldwin?

[superman05]

How about Adam Baldwin for Tony Stark? Jayne from Serenity and Firefly. Not as well known as the others, which is a good thing, and he's a pretty good actor. And he's got the look down pat.

Not bad

[COME ON !]

edit

[COME ON !]

I liked him in Firefly.

[U.S War Machine]

Could be

[WTFwuzThT]

He looks too old and needs a wig to play Stark.

[Mauser9910]

He's not the Baldwin with issues, is he ? :o

[Red X]

Could work.

[Dr.Dude]

Interesting choice.... but he'd need to be able to grow out a proper goatee/stache instead of that whispy thing he's got goin' on in those pics. ;)

[Ironfan72]

He could work, not sold on him completely, but I wouldn't hate the hiring. He's a good actor, who hasn't gotten that really big break yet, has always been a good supporting actor.

[Eddie Dean]

I like him, but I can't see him as Iron Man.

[Spider - Man]

Nah:down

[Leto Atrides]

Not my first choice, but it could work.

[Isildur´s Heir]

I don´t dislike the guy, but it´s a horrible choise for Stark

No fu**ing way!

[MaskedManJRK]

Jayne as Stark? That would be pretty cool. :D

[Kingfish]

hadnt thought of him before. might not be a bad choice...

[Soundwave88]

Nah

[The Question]

Too beefy. Stark's not supposed to be ripped. He's a good actor, but he's just got the wrong build. Now, if he were to apear in a comic book movie, he'd make a good Parasite for the villain role in a Superman flick.

[Cinemaman]

NO! :down

[COME ON !]

NO! :down

Why ?:)

[IronMan_2005]

I saw Serenity on HBO this past weekend (pretty good flick) and this guy did come off as the Han Solo/Harrison Ford type guy Favreau said he was looking for. If they got him it could work.

besides, I wouldn't mind a badass like Animal Mother to be Tony Stark

[FVD]

He's not the Baldwin with issues, is he ? :o

Actually he ain't related to Alec, Stephen, Billy and Daniel. So whether he has any issues I wouldn't know.

And sad to say I can't see him in the Stark role.

[murdock_matt]

Big fan of Adam (surprise! checky my avatar), but I don't know if I would like him as Tony Stark. I wish there was another choice on the poll.

[ironmaidenrules]

well..i'm not gonna go 100%

but the guy can act
he has done action

has worked with joss and from what i hear hoss and jon have spoken to each other and due to the related field....

compare adam from angel and adam from firefly

the buld is very different

so he can slim down andd work a suit

[toddly6666]

I like Adam Baldwin in Serenity/Firefly/Independance Day, but he's just too fratboyish-toolish to play Tony Stark.

[kytrigger]

I like Adam Baldwin in Serenity/Firefly/Independance Day, but he's just too fratboyish-toolish to play Tony Stark.

what about any of his roles makes you see him as "fratboyish"? Usually I see him as rather gruff, which is the exact opposite.
