'Peter Sarsgaard' or 'Chris Klein' for the lead
People are saying that 'Topher Grace' should be casted, and although he would pull it off well emotionally, if you've read the book he doesn't quite have the troubled look needed. There's something about Sarsgaard's eyes and voice that will have the emotional impact the film needs. I'm not sure why I see Klein as my 2nd choice, but I believe he is an actor with potential who could very well prove himself with this film. As for the father, my top choices are now too old (Leslie Neilson, or Clint Eastwood) but who knows, Dennis Quaid maybe? George Clooney (long shot, but could work).
opinions on my selection? Open to anything.
Cheers, Rob
