Idiot casting.

 

[Professor]

Idiot casting.

No kidding. I'm curious now to see how he expects to pull that off.

He couldn't get Billy Crudup to play the part he played in "Public Enemies"?

I was watching a film of, I believe the Marciano - Louis fight the other evening, and I swear it was J. Edgar Hoover in the second row of the audience. [huh]

 

[Tomasso]

It probably was Hoover. He was a big boxing fan, though nowhere near as much as he liked the ponies.

Does this mean we'll see Zack Efron as Clyde Tolson?

 

[Lady Day]

I dont know....I give DiCaprio HUGE credit for not making his career full of the blah handsome guy roles but instead actual acting and drama, and primarily period pieces. I think with the right makeup he can pull it off.

Agreed. DiCaprio could have easily made plenty of money playing various boyfriend roles. Instead he appears to choose his roles with an eye towards interesting dramatic parts.
