ooh! ooh! good topic...
As Denny...
<IMG SRC="http://wsphotofews.excite.com/009/xa/J2/UY/ej80897.jpg">
Daniel Johns from Silverchair. Not an actor, but meh. i thought of this cause i remember a while back i saw a pic of him with black frame nerd glasses, but of course i couldn't find it again.
...lemme think about the rest of em. i'll be back.

..Who would you cast to play the characters??<P>I haven't got any ideas yet though...

Jason Lee (Chasing Amy, Mumford, Kissing a Fool) as Denny.<P><img src="http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Ss/0125022/HB-120.jpg">

wait...are we basing these on physical appearance, or on acting/persona? i'll use my moderating power and say...either way's good.
I like Chris Klein for Dylan. there's some facial and hair resemblance there.
And Jesse - I'm honestly not sure where you're coming from for Jason Lee as Denny. Care to elaborate? seriously, i'm curious as to what the connection is.

keep the suggestions coming...this is fun.<P>

how bout Katie Holmes as Teresa?

too thin...but everybody in hollywood's too thin.

I picked Jason Lee as Denny because I feel he could do the "sensitive" type. A perfect example would be his character in Kissing A Fool. The character he played in that movie was basically Denny.<P>Not so much looks, maybe a little, but mostly for his acting.<P>And for Teresa, I can kinda picutre Linda Cardellini playing her. Mainly for her looks.<P><img src="http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Events/0693-wb ... in.ili"><p>[This message has been edited by Jesse Brack (edited 08-13-2001).]

okay, good rationale for your choice for Denny. I didn't see 'Kissing a Fool'...is it good?
And i think you found a better Teresa than I did. good work.

Kissing A Fool is a great movie, I liked it a lot. You should try to rent it sometime.

I got one now....Chris Klein (Oz in 'American Pie 1 and 2) as Dylan. <P> <IMG SRC="http://minorreality.keenspace.com/images/klein_ch.jpg"> <p>[This message has been edited by Exit (edited 08-13-2001).]

That's true, he is a bit too old. I just automatically thought of his character from Kissing A Fool when I thought of Denny, so I forgot about age, good point.<P>Linda has played in Freaks & Geeks (Comes on Fox Family channel, great show), Legally Blonde, new Scooby Doo movie coming out soon, and Dead Man on Campus.

I chose Chris Klein, cause he has the look and he played a sensitive guy in American Pie. Plus he looks dopey, so he could play stoned Dylan.<P>Jesse:
1) Jason is a great actor, but in my opinion he'd be to old to pull off being Denny (a 19 yr old). He's 31.
Hollywood make enough teen shows using old people.<P>2) What has Linda Cardellini been in? She's a good choice for Theresa in looks.

oh yeah, i heard she was gonna be Velma in the new Scooby Doo movie.
And I just realized that we don't really have to worry about casting Tammi, cause there's about eight hundred blond skanks that could play her.
And I can't think of anyone for Kristan. Help me out!

I have some new suggestions...<P>Shawn Hatosy (Stan in 'The Faculty') as Jean Paul Damien <A HREF="http://us.imdb.com/EGallery?source=gran ... osy,+Shawn" TARGET=_blank>http://us.imdb.com/EGallery?source=gran ... ,+Shawn</A> <P>Marla Sokoloff (Wilma in 'Dude, Where's My Car?') as Theresa <A HREF="http://us.imdb.com/EGallery?source=ss&g ... path=group" TARGET=_blank>http://us.imdb.com/EGallery?source=ss&g ... h=group</A> <P>She's on the left.<P>Amanda Schull (Jody Sawyer in 'Center Stage') as Tammi <A HREF="http://us.imdb.com/EGallery?source=ss&g ... ll,+Amanda" TARGET=_blank>http://us.imdb.com/EGallery?source=ss&g ... +Amanda</A> <P>Bianca Kajlich (Lisa Grier in 'Boston Public') as Kristen or Jenny <A HREF="http://us.imdb.com/EGallery?source=gran ... ch,+Bianca" TARGET=_blank>http://us.imdb.com/EGallery?source=gran ... +Bianca</A> <p>[This message has been edited by Exit (edited 08-16-2001).]

Thanks for the comments. I have 'The Faculty' on tape, and Shawn's evil eyes caught my attention for JPD.
I posted the pic of Marla, cause A) it was the best one that didn't have her caked in makeup and B) Cause you hated 'Dude' <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"><P>Christina choice very cool. Great actress, nice Jenny-ish look on the photo.<P>I wonder who would play the other characters.
We still need: The main 4 (more choices), Jonahs, Lukas and Rufus.

Lyle Lovett as Rufus! <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/1192/LyleLovett" TARGET=_blank>http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/1192/LyleLovett</A>
just slap a moustache and a cowboy hat on him!<p>[This message has been edited by kathleenJ (edited 08-17-2001).]

hmm...there hasn't been much of Jonas and Lukas lately, but don't worry, i haven't forgotten about them. or about Jenny. just for the record.
Funny you should mention the movie 'The Faculty'...i was just thinking that Josh Hartnett would make a pretty decent Dylan. <A HREF="http://pics.teencelebsplus.com/hartnett/Hartnett001.jpg" TARGET=_blank>http://pics.teencelebsplus.com/hartnett ... 001.jpg</A>

hey, good suggestions! I would have never thought of Shawn Hatosy as JPD (cause i was stuck in a rut of thinking of the standard movie psychos), but somehow it works. he has the right facial structure. we'd just have to shave his head.
Agreed that Marla Sokoloff would make a lovely Teresa. But did you post that just cause you <I>know</I> i hated that movie? <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif">
good choice for Tammi...she has the look. and look, she's got two guys feeling her up in the picture! very Tammi.
ooh, Bianca's got a tattoo in the right place to be Kristan! very nice.
for Jenny...i could see Christina Ricci. <A HREF="http://www.celebrityzone.co.uk/cgi-bin/ ... stinar,014" TARGET=_blank>http://www.celebrityzone.co.uk/cgi-bin/ ... nar,014</A> <P>

thumbs up, i say!
heh, i think my friend and i had a crush on Devon Sawa many years ago in junior high. yes, he has that blond quality that'd make him a good Lukas or Denny. although i stand by my Denny choice, appearance wise.
i'd never heard of Busy Phillips, but yeah, she looks like Jenny. and your Jonas is good too. How do you find all these people?

I stal...search for them on movie sites etc.
Teen movies/tv shows are best bet.<P>Are you gonna add a page to your site, with the choices you liked best?

Who da hell is Lyle Lovett? Only person who should be playin' me is Brad Pitt y'all.
Me an' Brad hav' a lot in common y'see. We both attractive men. <P><P>------------------
