The Dark Knight Dwight Yoakam was up for 2 roles

[Nepenthes]

Dwight Yokam yeah he's great. Never seen his acting though.

 

[The Guard]

The integrity of the casting process continues to impress me. Wonder if Chris Nolan and Dwight are friends like his choice for Flass in BATMAN BEGINS.

Merkel.

I'm not a huge Yoakim fan, he never has really vibed with me on screen, so i can't say I am dissapointed, but surely he couldn't have been up for anything big so I suppose it wouldn't matter one way or the other

Negative. Merkel is not a bad cop. He's a good cop.

He was actually brilliant in Sling Blade. He seemed so real in that role it was scary.

I LOVED SLING BLADE! It was on HBO like every night my junior year of college. Dwight was great. Thorton was great. It was great! My roomate and I used to quote the damn thing to each other all day.

 

[Spider-Bat]

Every since wedding crashers I could never take him serious, good thing he declined it.

Yurka, great avatar, now that's The Joker!

 

[Darknightnomis]

Negative. Merkel is not a bad cop. He's a good cop.

That's why I said Merkel. One of "Goldman's guys".

OH YEAH!!!Dwight is soo great in that scene.depending on what mood you're in, that scene can be watched for it's ferocity and also for it hilarity!!

Let us not forgot the iconic role of RAOUL in PANIC ROOM!!!!!!

sling blade was shot mediocre but the movie is priceless!!!

 

[Giant-Man]

Who would he play?

 

[jimmy]

Bank manager who gets a bullet to the face.

 

[Giant-Man]

Bank manager who gets a bullet to the face.

lol, t: is he really going to do it?

 

[jimmy]

I hope so. It sounds like a sick ass scene.

 

[Giant-Man]

I hope so. It sounds like a sick ass scene.

I Hope so to, That would be really awesome t:

 

[Banana-Hotdog]

Wow this is old. I guess Giant-Man thought we weren't talking about Dwight Yoakam enough. I swear, you Yoakam fans spam worse than Ron Paul supporters.

In all seriousness though, it is a damn shame Dwight won't be in this movie, but there's always #3! ...unless JLA ruins comic book films or pisses of Nolan enough that he backs out.

 

[Nepenthes]

My heart calls out for Alicia Keyes in movie three

 

[hammy]

I can't believe he didn't do it. I can't believe he's that busy. He could have worked around the Buck Owens thing.

 

[jimmy]

Casey!

 

[hammy]

Yes?

 

[jimmy]

Go away.

 

[hammy]

I already did. But now I'm back. And now I'm going to go again...

 

[Frank Noir]

I only saw Yoakam in Panic Room. Liked him, but Jared Leto and Forest Whitaker are much better actors in my opinion. Nonetheless, it would have been fun to see him in TDK.

And I'm glad Fichtner plays the bank manager. Love him as an actor. I only hope he gets more than a few minutes screentime, before the J-man blows his brains out.
