the Casey Jones thread - Jason Vorhees ain't got s*** on CJ

[GREEN =w= DAY]

so, who to play the awesome Casey Jones?

 

[Rockstar]

Witwer

 

[Aztec]

Bring it!

 

[Tanin]

I'd love for Chris Evans to do it again, but alas I think he is a little busy with the Avengers.

 

[BruceWanner]

Jon Bernthal

 

[ShredderX]

I think Jensen Ackles would be a great Casey. He has the Casey attitude. But Jared Padalecki his the Casey Build.

 

[SpitCurl]

Witwer

Perhaps not quite looming enough (height-wise) but yeah, I'd buy that.

Elias Koteas for the mutha-lovin' win, though. (Dude will be hard to top.)

 

[ShredderX]

You know, after watching the Caey Jones fan film online, I would like to see Casey in his own solo series.

 

[Aztec]

Just keeping with the theme of the thread:

I liked that fan made trailer too. Casey would totally work on his own.

Am I the only one who doesnt like Casey Jones at all? I guess it has to do with growing up with the 80s cartoon and that he wasnt in it, but I just think he so intrusive and hogging for attention that should be spent on the turtles instead :/

 

[Aztec]

Am I the only one who doesnt like Casey Jones at all? :/

Yes.

He is central to TMNT lore. To make any TMNT media without him would be an immediate and epic fail.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Ackles and Witwer are great picks.

Coincidentally, I chose Witwer as the next Batman and Ackles as Wally West/Flash.

 

[Project862006]

this is gonna be hard to top or even come close to Elias

the dude just oozed that New York swagger

Actually, he was in two episodes of the 80's toon. He never took off his hockey mask and wanted to smash everything with his bat.

 

[BruceWanner]

Just imagine the gun is a hockey stick.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Jon Bernthal doesnt fit the bill in my opinion, but I still love the guy.

 

[louiebling$]

As much as I love Jon...and as much as he would probably OWN the role and do the role justice and live up to Koteas' performance...at 35 I'm not sure he is young enough....I mean I imagine Casey being Late 20's if anything

 

[BruceWanner]

I think Casey Jones should kind of remind the audience a little bit of Donny Donowitz from Inglourious Basterds. No?

 

[Blue Sugar]

I love Casey.

I've always longed to see him fight someone with a golf-club in live-action.

CASEY JONES ;

Age : 22 Weight : 195 lbs Height : 6'1

Dispositon: Braggart, cocky, cheerful, but annoying

Education : High School Dropout

Occupation : Building caretaker, Handyman

Personal Profile : Casey Jones is an alienated young man who lives by himself in a run-down apartment building. He makes a living if you could call it that, by fixing things in the apartment building and doing odd jobs.

Casey's only friends are the three TV sets he has going simultaneously and continuously. He works out with barbells all the time, while watching television. He watches all the cop shows and his views and attitudes are shaped by them. This makes him more than a little bit warped. He has the idea that the streets of the world are full of human slime and scum.

Donning an old hockey mask and carrying a golf bag filled with various clubs. Casey ventures out into the streets, looking for the human vermin who preys on the weak and innocent. On these creeps he will wreak his vengeance. Unfortunately, Casey has no sense of scale. Casey will treat a purse snatcher just as he would treat a murderer. He'll beat any criminal senseless or even to death.

Casey's fighting skills were learned mostly on the streets,though he did take some martial arts courses before being kicked out of class for being too brutal. Working out with weights all the time has given him a toned, muscular physique which helps him in his chosen pursuit.

Just a little bio info of Casey from the TMNT & Other Strangeness RPG.

 

[ShredderX]

Just a random thought,

I was watching " Boy Meets World " this morning, and for some strange reason, Shawn and Corey's Jr. High teacher , Mr.Turner, as Casey Jones popped in my head.

 

[awesome232]

Sam Witwer. He's got the build and acting chops. Plus, he's 6'1. I'd choose him for Venom in TASM also.

 

[mattyt81]

after watching the 1990 tmnt the other day, i have to say Elias Koteas was the man! put a wig on him and give him the job again

 

[Cassandra Cain]

On the whole slight possibility of Sam Worthington playing Casey Jones (with he working with the director before), I don't know exactly how to feel about it. I'm a fan of the actor and believe he has a great talent for sure, but that's quite an image he'd have to play with (and, maybe I'm mistaken, but doesn't he seem a little too old for the role - especially opposite Megan Fox? That's just me). Of course there's absolutely nothing official on this, just mere speculation. And with no casting news on this character yet, I'm starting to really believe Casey won't even be in this film. Hmm...

 

[SlamAdams]

I feel like a lot of people are looking for the next Elias Koteas instead of the next Casey Jones. Isn't Jones usually depicted closer in age to the Turtles (late teens-early 20s)? I could be wrong though.
