Who should play who in a live-action Danny Phantom?


Should they get Nick kids to play the parts or new people entirely?

reply

I definitely think that there should be a live-action movie! =D
Now, I think Logan Henderson should played Danny.
Demi Lovato could play Sam if she cut her or wore a wig.
Robert Bailey Jr. could play tucker.
As for Jazz, Ariana Grande or Bonnie Wright..
You may not agree with this list, but I think it's pretty good.=)

I agree with this list for the most part....:D It's really good!
-Logan Henderson as Danny
-Robert Bailey Jr. as Tucker
-Ariana Grande as Jazz (a different kind of role for her than Victorious and a chance to show her acting skills)

As for Demi Lovato as Sam.....I don't know if that would work....I don't think she can pull off all that cynicism :)

Miranda Cosgrove looks the part....maybe....
Elizabeth Gillies (Jade-Victorious) also
Victoria Justice would be an interesting pick since it would give her a chance to act out of her range and do something kind've different

Out of the Nickelodeon girls, Justice and Cosgrove would be the best picks
Jennete McCurdy would be pushing it since she is already playing a Sam on iCarly. But that's just my opinion. :D

Yeah, I know. lol
When I said Demi Lovato it was just because I couldn't really think of anybody else at the time and she was the closest I could guess.
=) But thanks!

I looked and looked, and I found it kind of difficult to find a match for her. but I guess Bailee Madison. =)

Jack Fenton should be played by Bruce Campbell.

I'd have to think about it. If this had been done years ago, Kirsten Dunst would have been perfect for Jazz.

Here my pipe-dream of a wish list of actors who should play in the DP live-action.

Danny Fenton/Phantom: Justin Long, he played a unlucky high school student in "Dodgeball" and I think he might fit the role more then Drake Bell.

Sam Manson: I go a bit outside of the box for this one: Cherie van der Merwe, an actress from South Africa who starred in the movie Bakgat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEABI6w2Apk

Tucker: One user on Youtube mentionned Tyler J. Williams and I agree with the user's choice.

Jack Fenton: I got 2 choices; 1st Kevin James or the 2nd choice, French-Canadian actor Remy Girard.

Maddie Fenton: Christine Taylor

Jazz Fenton: Julie Gonzalo

Jeremy Manson: 1st choice Kevin Sorbo, 2nd choice Matthew McConaughey

Pamela Manson: Kate Bekinsale

Grandma Manson: Sandra Prinsloo

Danielle: Missy Peregrym, a Canadian actress

Dash Baxter: Trever O'Brien

Kwam: Doua Moua

Mr. Lancer: Marius Weyers

Valerie Grey: Kyla Pratt

Mr. Grey: Ernie Hudson

Paulina: Camila Banus

Vlad Masters: Alec Baldwin

Dark Danny: Matt Damon

I think it'd be much better if some big studio make a serious TV series, like now Teen Titans (I know it's superheroes, so it's a bit different, but still).
