Daredevil Foggy Nelson Casting and Discussion Thread

[NinjaTurtleFan]

If Josh Gad weren't so busy, I would maybe consider him. Bobby Monahan wouldn't be a bad choice. Plus, he's a huge Marvel fan.

But I feel Sean Astin looks the most like the comics' Foggy.

Disappointed about Oswalt.

 

[Hypestyle]

Does new Foggy have to be overweight?

 

[Silvermoth]

I think so. Why change it if it works in the comics? You don't want it to look like daredevil works at a place that only hires GQ models.

It's funny to think the last guy to play foggy nelson went on to direct iron man

 

[TheHeatKitchen]

Obviously Foggy would be the comic relief in the series (though hopefully not a TON of it, like Darcy in Thor TDW).

I'm trying to think off the radar for some choices, skewing a little from the comic appearance in some cases...

Rainn Wilson
Kenan Thompson
Josh Peck (depending on the age range they use)
Ethan Suplee (My Name is Earl)
Justin Bartha (National Treasure)
Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother is ending...)

 

[Dark Raven]

Foggy better not be Amanda Waller-ised like in Arrow and the New 52.

 

[TX85]

Greg Grunberg(Heroes)

 

[Dark Raven]

If he weren't in Suits, then maybe Rick Hoffman:

Greg Grunberg(Heroes)

I could get behind this.

 

[Silvermoth]

Yeah me too, good idea

 

[Majik1387]

Jason Segel please.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Tim Heidecker?

Ethan Suplee isn't fat any more lol

 

[TheHeatKitchen]

Most of the actors I picked aren't. What's your point? Who says the character HAS to be overweight? The core of the character isn't to be fat.

 

[Majik1387]

Yeah, I don't think the actor cast has to be fat or anything, just out of shape is good enough.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Greg Grunberg(Heroes)

I really like this idea

 

[DarkSovereignty]

If he weren't in Suits, then maybe Rick Hoffman:

Yeeesh, it's like rat won a game of poker with a genie and was granted humanity.

 

[NinjaTurtleFan]

If he weren't in Suits, then maybe Rick Hoffman:

If there's ever a Paul Lynde biopic, he'd be the best pick. lol

But seriously... he would make a perfect War Criminal in a future "Sin City" movie.

 

[Dark Raven]

I actually always thought Hoffman would be great for the classic 616 Moleman.

He doesn't really have a personality like Paul Lynde though. Hoffman specialises in playing *****ebags.

I remember him as the *****ebag in "Hostel." Could really work as Moleman.

 

[Harry Dresden]

I like the idea of Jonah Hill as Foggy Nelson.

 

[Majik1387]

Big no thanks to Jonah Hill and Rick Hoffman.

 

[TX85]

I may be ok with Jonah Hill but not with Hoffman in this role,I'm still sticking with Greg Grunberg though lol

 

[Gr0oT]

If he weren't in Suits, then maybe Rick Hoffman:

Spoiler

Isn't that the guy that was in Hostel, the American who was about to have his first kill?

Anyways he seems unlikable.

Watch Suits. He plays a *****ebag lawyer in there. He starts off as somewhat unlikeable, but he has grown on everyone who watches it, perhaps into one of the most sympathetic characters on the show.

 

[Majik1387]

I just can't get past his ugly face, and that he plays every role he has the exact same way.
