- Leave a comment to suggest an actor for this role
Peter Sarsgaard
I think Leonard DiCaprio could do justice to this part.
Keanu Reeves!!!
Woody Harrelson
Kevin Costner. He has presence, grace and humility written all over him. He is also about the same age and looks a lot like Mr. Farlow.
Tom Selleck or John O’Hurley
Bill Paxton. That picture looks just like Bill in Tombstone
Bill Paxton
Timothy Olyphant
A friend and I discussed this earlier… we think that Robert Downey Jr might be good for this role. Why? He is an amazing actor and can put all of him into the role, therefore, adding the feeling that “hey. this is real. i feel like I know this person.”
I say Emilio Estevez.first I think they look alike in a way.Second I dont know how to explain why,but in the other hand Estevez has been workin as a director,as well.I think Emilio and Val,work as actors and directors in this project,I can assure it will be a tremendous surprise for the public.
Billy Zane
I agree with the Billy Zane vote, here we are talking about someone on the front lines taking (bullets) verbal/mental assaults head on and being able to sustain order of character and poise in the midst of it all. This will be a challenging role for whomever gets it. I would even suggest Robert DeNiro for the role as this will require a robust approach packed with intellect and dignity to the character.
Here we are talking about individuals that worked with Eddy who combatted sin head-on within themselves and rose to the occasion to combat it in others. Not easy shoes to fill by any means. The actors in this film are going to have that to consider these attributes if they are to bring an iota of authenticity to this production. (in my opinion)
I think Andrew MacNaughton would be perfect.
Matthew Macfadyen with his quiet strength would suit this or perhaps another character
Bill Paxton looks like him, and is about the right age…….
Matthew Broderick
Billy Zane is also an excellent suggestion!
Hard. A handsome man with intelligence and insight. Johnny Dep or Hank Azaria. Bill Paxon is a good choice too. Denis Quaid could play it and look the right age as well.
Robert Sean Leonard would be good in this
absolutely >>> KEANU REEVES <<<
Take a look on his face! It must be Kevin Costner.
Thanks Christine for your faith (& vote) in Keanu Reeves! I think he would be PERFECT and I think he definitely would be interested in the movie. Keanu doesn’t have to be the main character . .. he does alot of indies and supports good films/work. Give him a call, Val!!!
Cary Elwes, fine actor and could look the part too!
Sam Neill
Brendan Fraser or Matthew Broadrick (sp?) the one married to Sarah Jessica Parker….
Skeet Ulrich played such a heart-warming, sensitive part in Ordinary Days, and he looks a lot like Alfred Farlow
I see Val Kilmer
My Alfred Farlow readings would go to :
Dash Mihok and
Timothy Olyphant
Leonardo Dicaprio
Sorry folks but this part has to belong to Keanu Reeves devilishly goodlooking and he can act what more could you want, eye candy with a brain
Timothy Olyphant or Kevin Costner.
Guy Pearce – hansom, similar appearance, wholesome nature and can do American accents
New guy- Jett Anderson http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4181812/
Pleeeease cast Pierce Brosnan in this role….talk about perfection!
besides the resemblence in the photo, the description screams Bill Paxton to me…if he’s not too busy, you should poke him on the shoulder and tell him he’s your guy ; )
Titus Welliver
Bill Paxton
or
Mark Ruffalo
or
David Jones (an up and coming actor…was in the Lifetime movie called Fatal Trust and by far the least expensive choice)
Hope this helps Val
I think Alfred Farlow should be played by
Matthew McConnaghy
Sean Astin
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2629343232/nm0000276
If Val has a relative that looks like him and can act, I think he would be a good choice for this character. Something about the guy’s bone structure reminds me of Val.
Or Kevin Costner. He’s one of the most under-utilized, talented actors in Hollywood today.
Paul James Rogic
How about Matt Broderick?

(Not sure about the site, but it’s a good photo and shows he’s capable of more than BUELER)
Tony Goldwyn
Kurt Russell or George Clooney. Can’t get much more handsome and charming than those guys.
My vote here is for Jason Lee.
Kurt Russell seems fitting. Maybe its also because I have always felt that Kurt and Val had great acting chemistry like paul newman and robert redford and how I would love to see them in another movie together.
Matthew Perry
Bill Paxton
