Casper Van whatsisface as Hal Jordan?

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

 

[marcvader]

That dude's still working?

 

[Dark Knight]

Casper Van Dien can play Green Lantern/Hal Jordan How does that sound ?

Casper starred in Starship Troopers, Tarzan and the Lost City, and Omega Code.

Terrible.....

 

[BigSams50]

What about Jeffrey Donovan?

on the poll, I voted other

 

[Changeling]

Is that your way of saying no to Donovan?

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Donovan looks a little like a recovered heroin addict whose gone down to california and gotten a nice tan... At least from that particular photo...

 

[Changeling]

Lol I 'spose that is a bad photo of him.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

What about Jeffrey Donovan?

Hes awesome in Burn Notice

My remark was in response to Johnny Drama's "Deal with it reply" (how soon you forget). Why don't you scold him instead of me? Furthermore being Hispanic just means that you have a relationship to Spanish or Portuguese cultue. It is not technically a race (ie. you could be white and Hispanic - as I said before) and the scan just verifies the fact. I think your scolding remark is unnecessary since that was all I was doing.

First of all, I meant no offence by that as I am Cuban and Italian, so I am mixed just as Kyle.

What I meant was, good luck finding an mexican/irish actor.
Therefore, Milo Ventimglia for the win. As an italian with light skin but dark features, he could totally pulll off Kyle.

Donovan's awesome in Burn Notice; he'd be good as Hal, no doubt.

He's my Namor though so I'll still pulling for Evans.

 

[Octoberist]

He reminds me of Guy Pierce

 

[Brian Braddock]

Ha. Yes;

I get what you mean - I think it's the 'chiseled face, slim jaw' thing.

 

[Lobo]

on the poll, I voted other

So, do you have an "others" name to offer up?

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Jeffrey Donovan is amazing. I hadn't really thought of him for GL.. Guy Pearce was my choice. But now.. Jeffrey'd be great as Hal.

 

[GL's Light]

Donovan will turn 41 in a few months time. I think the studio will look for someone who's in his 20s or early 30s.

 

[cerealkiller182]

he'd make a better question anyway

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Bearing in mind my absolute perfect, made-for-the-part casting preference of Nathan Fillion is too old for the script... My choice is Shane West. He's perfect for a young secret origins Hal Jordan..

So, do you have an "others" name to offer up?

I didn't know voting for others implied that

 

[Lobo]

Well, most people usually have a specific other in mind. Unless you meant The Others

 

[The Major]

Jeffrey Donovan is amazing. I hadn't really thought of him for GL.. Guy Pearce was my choice. But now.. Jeffrey'd be great as Hal.

Agreed.

Michael Weatherly is another good candidate. You could even switch both actors with the Guy and Hal roles, too.

 

[Lane & Kent]

The only problem with Jeffrey Donovan is his age.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea and we know guys like him, david B, and nathan fillion are not in the range they want for hal. Its more likely its probably going to go to someone like an ackles, franco, harnett, or pine.

 

[Changeling]

What do you guys think about the rumor that Orlando Bloom might be GL? I'm not down with it, personally.

 

[TheVileOne]

Orlando Bloom is Australian. Watch The Flight of The Concords to see the truth about evil Australians and how they are rapists, thieves, and crooks. Not to mention they made fun of Jemaine's accent . . . slightly.
