'Just Rewards (2)'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
The guy I know who read for the role was told that he was too old (at 28) to play Angel. Ben's not much younger, but he does look more boyish.
I know it's not main-universe Angel, but when I think of him now I think of Ultimate Angel who freaks out and leaves Westchester, and Storm goes after him to talk him down (literally as well as figuratively). He's just so heartachingly beautiful -- it's a combination of magnificent strength and a graceful sculptor's touch.
Andy Serkis is going to be in a spy-flick.
I am amused that both "Bertie" and "Jeeves" will have played MI-6 agents/operatives/whatever after this movie.
I loved, loved, loved Ben Foster in "Liberty Heights" but he ain't no superhero material. Unless, of course, his super power is disarming the ladies with his nebbishy charm.
He was also on Freaks and Geeks, but the character he played was nothing like Angel.
At all.
This kind of casting makes me wonder if we've reached the era when they cast actors, replace them with CGI doubles, and then dub in the voices.
He was on Freaks & Geeks? Which character did he play? Isn't that Claire's gay boyfriend from Six Feet Under?

That's how I know him.

He was the retarded boy, Eli. Yeah, you can hardly recognize him.
No kidding. I had no idea.
