Wasn't Gyrich in the first X-Men movie?
I'm pretty sure he was Senator Kelly's assistant that Mystique impersonated in the Helicopter. He was on screen maybe 30 seconds?
The guy from Heroes who played Mr Bennett, would make a good Gyrich.
Who could play Henry Gyrich?
No one, as Marvel doesn't have the film rights to the character. Fox has them.
Marvel has the rights always. They license characters to these production companies, and since FOX hasn't used Henry Peter Gyrich since 1999 I'd be surprised if Marvel couldn't use him now. Part of the reason characters like Cyclops, Storm, Beast, Wolverine, Xavier and Gambit make cameos and appearances in movies like X-Men: First Class and Wolverine is so they can continue to use them.No one, as Marvel doesn't have the film rights to the character.
