If Devito had passed on the penguin role?

[Carusos Shades]

Who do you think could have played him? I go for bob hoskins or jason alexander. I know alexanders a comic actor but he could have pulled off the look fo sure!!

I'm sure the thought around WB at the time was give DeVito what ever he wanted, because there really is no one else that bears such a resemblance to The Penguin.

 

[Two-Face]

I read somewhere that Tim Burton wanted Marlon Brando as The Penguin. No no.

 

[Batcomputer]

And I read somewhere that Tim Burton wanted Dustin Hoffman in the first place...

Wrong, Devito was his first and only choice according to the SE DVD.

 

[El Payaso]

DeVito was the man for Penguin.

i could see, bob being consider at the time, but, jason was still kinda young, and early in his career to of been known enough to be consider

i could maybe see, Burton considing, Glenn Shadix (having worked with him in Beetle Juice)
(though, he isn't really short enough)

just reading some of Devito's IMBd bio
kinda funny lil ironic facts (well, its IMBd, so, may not be fact) but, it says, that he was consider for the roles of Mario, and George Costanza, roles that ended up going to bob hoskins and jason alexander lol

Wrong, Devito was his first and only choice according to the SE DVD.

it does say he was consider in his bio (but, agian it is IMBd, so, probably just a rumor)

 

[Symbiotic]

watching Spawn, John Leguizamo could've done it. (But not as good as DeVito.)

 

[Penismightier]

This thread is basically going to be suggestions of people who could have played the role, but the prevailing thought is no one was as meant for that role than DeVito.

 

[Catman]

Wrong, Devito was his first and only choice according to the SE DVD.

Also according to the SE DVD, DeVito, was EVERYONE's first and only choice.

close thread.

 

[The Chairman]

I could see Hoffman pulling off the elederly, distinguished upper-class English mob boss Penguin. Pesci could've pulled it off if DeVito didn't take it.

hmm i wonder why.....lol.
