Daniel Day Lewis is the only man that could play Corto, do you agree?

I've been thinking about it off and on for a while, who could do corto justice? Viggo Mortensen has weezley eyes, Pierce Brosnan's too old and Collin Farrel looks like a child. But wait, Daniel Day Lewis? he's a superb actor who i think fits the bill in every area, age, height, physique, he even looks like Corto, plus he's got that charismatic cheeky grin. what do you guys think?

I deffinately agree! Daniel Day Lewis is a fenomenal actor and phisicaly he would fit the role of CM perfectly.

If someone decides to make a movie than pleas cast DDL as CM! Do it fast though, cause the man is growing old.

Has taken a look at Lewis and he looks perfect, Never seen one of his films though.

Oh, you have to, man. Lewis is one of the best (and I mean really THE BEST) actors of all time.

Just go and see Gangs Of New York and that will be enough.

I agree that he would have made an excellent
choice for Corto. But who would you suggest
for the part of Rasputine?

Dafoe is a bit to cold I think

[–] smelybum 17 years ago

Rasputins a tough one, Dafoe could probably pull it off, i'd be more inclined to choose a non-star for his role though, he would have to have a fresh kind of appeal - guess this dosn't really help! i'll have a think.

[–] Linus-68 17 years ago

For some reason I haven ever really liked Dafoe
