Aslong as he doesn't do the walk that Jax got in SoA...

I could see it, but what about talent? Whats he known for?

 

[anrrd_2]

theres something very..."youthful"...about his face. i alway imagine thor looking very knowledged and wise in the face. not a huge problem, just an observation.

Currently, Sons of Anarchy, but he was in Children of Men, Cold Mountain, Green Street Hooligans, Nicholas Nickleby, and was also in the show Undeclared.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Green Street Hooligans really shouldnt exactly be considered as a highlight of his career though, nor should it be an indicator of his talent imo.

I would think if there one piece of his work CH could (or should) leave off his CV, it'd be that.

Holy crap...Look at their client list...it's like 'whoa...'

They even have an office in Stockholm, Sweden...

[Brian Braddock]

Yeah, I think it's fair to say that they're pretty big time.

I like Hunnam. I feel like we're close to an official announcement.

 

[tamron]

I'm happy with Hunnam or Skarsgard.

In that picture Charlie looks an awful lot like Channing Tatum but with longer hair and minus the pouty Zoolander expression.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Hunnam looks all right for the part. I haven't seen him act in anything, though.

 

[marcvader]

He's actually pretty respectable so I wouldn't mind him.

 

[Chewy]

Hunnam was the only other guy besides Skarsgård on that list of guys who screentested who I wouldn't mind in the role.

I think the most interesting part of the article is that he says the start date for Thor (which was originally July) was pushed back by a only a few months, not a year or anything.

 

[Lobo]

I like Hunnam. I feel like we're close to an official announcement.

I have the same feeling.

 

[marcvader]

Better be skars dammit!!

 

[ice79]

Oh my CH's natural accent is um... yep

Now if only he could grow a couple of inches

 

[louiebling$]

I have the same feeling.

So do I

 

[Canis Sapiens]

Hey, it's Flass from BB!




(I mean, in that ice79 video)

 

[Project862006]

he is great in SOA

 

[broblacksteel]

I think SKARS will be THOR for SURE NOW!! With a move like he has recently made to CAA, they ONLY take on actors with big projects. Thor is a 5 pic deal, so that puts skars from c-list to A-list in CAA eyes. Plus he has been hitting the gym more, all signs point to skars regardless of interviews or screen test with other actors....BUT, this is hollyweird... it might be david spade!!! lol.

The guy's frame is too small for the role. He's more the blonde surfer look than the nordic type.

You can look at his signing with CAA two ways though. Sure CAA takes only big name talent but wasn't his previous agency the same one that Branaugh was with?

I'm not really worrying about the size of the actor anymore, to be honest. Skars has the size and the acting chops, but if he's out of the running (which, I know, he still may not be), I'd rather they look for good actors over giant muscle-men.

 

[Canis Sapiens]

About Charlie Hunnam, one thing I noticed on movie forums and comments on youtube is how much he is compared (mostly physically and in terms of presence) to Heath Ledger. I haven't seen him acting enough to draw a conclusion. What do you guys think? Does he have this Ledger vibe?
