She's a great actress, and certainly has the talent for either role. She physically resembles the description of Jenny at a glance...but I think the eyes are wrong. They are also wrong for Claire's eyes...I hope they find someone with the correct screen presence for all the roles, but Claire and Jenny (and Jamie) in particular. I also like Angus McFaydyen for the role of Roger.Gaia IvoryWitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388999351377046628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-15563827185686952812010-10-14T17:07:15.265-04:002010-10-14T17:07:15.265-04:00Just saw Armie Hammer in the facebook movie Social...Just saw Armie Hammer in the facebook movie Social Network. Wow..... great choice for Jamie in a movie. 6'5, gorgeous and charasmatic... enough for me to overlook his familiarity to the public (but he's not TOO familiar yet) and his lack of Scottish birth/accent. <br /><br />I've checked out most of the other suggestions for actors - Gerard B would have been perfect but too old and overexposed now.

Let's be honest here, the stuff on youtube is quite lame, probably more harmful than good for an "aspiring actor".<br />He may well be a really neat guy in real life and I kind of think that may be influencing Diana's opinion of him...but he's hardly going to make the ladies pulses race. And yeah, I do know it's not all about looks and body shape, but the actual acting skills are not that great either. Sorry if this sounds harsh but i'm being realistic here. <br /><br />I just don't get it *shakes head*stacey knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-36169080293953577352010-10-01T13:07:14.108-04:002010-10-01T13:07:14.108-04:00IMO, I don't think it matters the nationality ...IMO, I don't think it matters the nationality of the actress ultimately chosen, but the question of the depth of her acting abilites should be the prime deciding factor.<br /><br />If KH is cast in the role of Claire - and that's a big IF, can she pull off a credible English/British accent for an entire film? Has anyone ever seen her in a 'period' role of any kind? Only things I've seen her in are romantic comedy roles and a few episodes of 'Grey's'.Joynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-81494457624397142692010-10-01T13:04:06.408-04:002010-10-01T13:04:06.408-04:00I don't like Katherine Heigl for the role...sh...I don't like Katherine Heigl for the role...she is a good comedic actress, but seems to not have enough depth to play Claire. Didn't think her dramatic work on "Grey's Anatomy" was that spectacular. I know that a "name" makes a film easier to make, but I'd love to see unknowns in the roles of both Jamie & Claire.Cristina Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-35648463573719044662010-10-01T12:49:12.580-04:002010-10-01T12:49:12.580-04:00I commented on the previous post, but since this p...I commented on the previous post, but since this post is specifically about Ms. Heigl..... if Vivian Leigh, a British actress, can be Scarlett O'Hara, then an American actress should do just fine as Claire! :-) <br />Diane in Atlanta, tooDiane in GAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04415982404739903959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-45174407967145238152010-10-01T12:42:05.822-04:002010-10-01T12:42:05.822-04:00Amy - your reference to "KH being cast in tha...Amy - your reference to "KH being cast in that role" made me do a double-take...because my initials are also KH! :-)<br /><br />KarenKaren Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635855088490793965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-39684262017424651652010-10-01T12:32:27.600-04:002010-10-01T12:32:27.600-04:00I'm not on Compuserve so I will post my opinio...I'm not on Compuserve so I will post my opinion here, if that's okay. Actors often are cast in roles that require them to speak in an accent that is not their native speaking voice. Therefore, I don't have a problem with them casting an American woman as Claire. I also don't have a particular problem with KH being cast in that role. I also agree that having a known actor will bring in funding and a larger audience. I worry more about the actual script than the specific actors involved.<br /><br />My 2-cents-worth,<br />Amy in AtlantaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-55179681535010616012010-10-01T12:20:04.357-04:002010-10-01T12:20:04.357-04:00I'll believe it when I see it.
