Your Dream '12 Angry Men' Cast

Just out of curiosity (and boredom), if you could do a version of 12 Angry Men, and you could pick any man you wanted to be in the cast, who would you pick? The only caveats being 1.) they're all male (no disrespecting the female actors, but to stay true to the title), and 2.) the actors are still living.

With that, here's my cast if I ever did 12 Angry Men:

Dylan Baker
Benjamin Bratt
Steve Buscemi
Don Cheadle
George Clooney
Terrence Howard
James Earl Jones
Paul Newman
James Spader
Eric Stoltz
David Strathairn
Ken Watanabe

[–] meril_lupin 18 years ago

Hmmn. I think Ken Watanabe would be kind of weird, but maybe not.

Steve Buscemi, Don Cheadle, and George Clooney would all be really good though. I don't really know most of the others that well.

Some possibles: (I don't know which characters; too lazy to think about it)

Eric Bana
Liam Neeson
Edward James Olmos, except playing a different character hehehe
Tom Hanks (okay, maybe not. he's too big a name.)
David Wenham or Karl Urban (maximum of 2 actors from LotR per movie...)
Cillian Murphy
Jeremy Irons

and... I give up. someone else think of some more.

What are you talking about?? Have you read the OP: "they're all male (no disrespecting the female actors, but to stay true to the title)"?

These days so many people have trouble with understanding of basic information..

[–] jmnh109 13 years ago

Why has no one mentioned Kevin Spacey? He would be terrific.

They should remake it with Chuck Norris as Juror #9.

But then of course the film would only be 5 minutes...

I just saw the original movie and it was amazing, ive yet to see this one, but my dream cast isnt really in any particular part just as long as theyre in it somewhere:
Daniel Day-Lewis
Gary Oldman
Sean Penn
Johnny Depp
Dustin Hoffman
Cillian Murphy
Tom Hanks
David Carradine
Kevin Spacey
Ed Harris
Al Pacino
Adrien Brody

that takes up the twelve but also ive just thought of a few more, Russel Crowe, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Patrick Stewart, Guy Pearce, Mel Gibson, Benicio Del Toro, Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, John Malkovich, Liam Neeson, Anthony Hopkins, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Willam Dafoe, Paul Bettany, Robert Downey Jr., Alec Baldwin i think that should do it

[–] napoleon19 18 years ago

Nicholas Cage
John Travolta
Kevin Spacey
Robert Downey JR.
Steve Bushemi
Kevin Costner

[–] taharat71 14 years ago

Good selection, all of u re mentioned actors know their trade very well..

Made you look , didn't I ? .. :)

[–] cyril_grey 9 years ago

THAT is a great cast. A++. I'd pull Guy Pearce, Hugh Jackman, Paul Bettany and Liam Neeson from the runners up list and switch them with Johnny Depp, David Carradine, Kevin Spacey (yeah, I know... but you've got Hoffman AND Pacino) and Adrien Brody, BUT I'd use Brody as the accused (in flashbacks). I might pull Penn and put in Benicio Del Toro or use Ewan McGregor.
