The Joker Thread - Part 1

[Captain Tired]

I don't care about his age. He just doesn't look like a Joker to me.

 

[hellblazer103]

Always thought he'd make a great Joker or Zsasz.

I could even imagine his voice being hella creepy for Joker.

 

[Eddie Dean]

For good reason. He’s 40 and looks 55. He’d be in a makeup chair for 5 hours as they apply hair on his head before they ever get to the makeup.

Aren’t you all in for Dafoe lol?

 

[Eddie Dean]

Can you believe how old and disgusting Ben Foster looks now????

 

[AndyTrevino]

Aren’t you all in for Dafoe lol?

He's not ruling out the possibility.

 

[Boom]

Ben Foster looks old? On what planet?

 

[AndyTrevino]

I just don't really care for his look for the character; more Zsasz to me. That, and I haven't seen him in anything.

Hell or High Water is a good start. Great film altogether.

 

[Art Vandelay]

Foster reminds me of a poor man's Christopher Meloni.

He's a perfectly fine actor, but someone you cast in a lesser role in a movie like this. No way is he Joker material.

 

[Captain Tired]

He's definitely Joker victim material, however.

Watch 3:10 to Yuma dude. Amazing Jokeresque performance.

I was half joking btw. But DaFoe will always be my exception. He can be 85 and I’ll jump for joy if he was cast.

In all seriousness, there is nothing about Foster that makes me think of the Joker. But I’m open to it now after seeing what Colin looks like, because Foster is a damn good actor.

 

[Eddie Dean]

When he’s thinner he has one of the best Joker chins.

 

[shauner111]

He does look older than his age though. And he has a hick vibe in most roles. Young Joker is the way to go, me thinks.

 

[Eddie Dean]

I agree, Foster’s prime would be Dark Knight era.

How is he ANYTHING like Meloni??

 

[Art Vandelay]

The nose and chin are similar, and they're both balding.

How is he ANYTHING like Meloni??

 

[Eddie Dean]

I see the resemblance in that picture, but only that picture lol.

 

[hellblazer103]

Yeah, and acting wise they aren't similar at all

Aaron Paul is more like the poor man's Foster, than Foster is anywhere near Meloni (Paul is great tho)

 

[Captain Tired]

I had to look up Meloni. I only know him as Chris Keller. Remember that whole 'snap their neck while they're about to give me a BJ' trick he used to pull in Oz? That was pretty funny.

In fact that's something I want to see the Joker do.

When I first started watching Breaking Bad I got Aaron Paul confused with Ben Foster.

Ok

 

[Captain Tired]

Ok

Andy, Andy, lemme explain something to you...

Acting weirded out doesn't really have the same impact when I preemptively highlighted the weirdness of my comment by using the emoticon.

Now let that be a lessen to you.

 

[Art Vandelay]

I think he was also in Man of Steel, among other projects.

Never said they were.

Also, why bring up Aaron Paul, of all people?
