So, who should play Christopher Steele in the movie version of "the Dossier"?!

[hlthe2b]

I think....



(Clive Owen)

[madaboutharry]

1. George Clooney.

[Spider Jerusalem]

2. Too American (n/t)

[madaboutharry]

6. He could do an accent.

I'm sure a voice coach could help him get it right.

[Spider Jerusalem]

7. I can count the number of American actors I've seen do a convincing British accent...

on the fingers of one hand and have a thumb left over, so I don't really think so.

[hlthe2b]

3. that could work too (and i know he'd "eat it up")

[bearsfootball516]

4. I was about to say that. They look fairly similar.

[JI7]

42. I think Clooney would play Mueller

[madaboutharry]

46. That would work.

[BoneyardDem]

5. I think the Man of Steel could to it well

[fifthoffive]

8. Michael Sheen

[dewsgirl]

28. I love him, he could definitely pull it off.

[Chiyo-chichi]

33. I was about to suggest him.

...and Michael Shannon as Robert Mueller.

[Corgigal]

38. Wow

Great work, you should work for a Hollywood agency. Michael Shannon is kickass spooky.

[Chiyo-chichi]

47. He's very good.

And there's a bit of a resemblance even if Shannon is 30 years younger than Mueller.

[spiderpig]

9. Damien Lewis, Dan Stevens, Eddie Redmayne

Just about any British actor under 80

[mitch96]

10. Bond...... James Bond

Daniel Craig... It would be a cliché but he would nail it...

m

[Cha]

44. Daniel Craig popped into my head first

thing, too.

[KT2000]

11. Absolutely!

I would BUY the video. Just love that guy's voice.

[hlthe2b]

13. ahh, another Clive Owen fan... terrific actor, quite handsome and he's British, guys

with gray hair he'd be perfect, I think.

[gordianot]

12. Someday Christopher Steele should be given a Presidential medal.

Every American student should learn his history, Congress should issue a formal apology. This open wound should be worn around the neck of anyone who votes Republican in perpetuity. The movie needs to be made as SOON as possible. I hope they identify those who died in the attempt to disclose Trump and his treason. Unfortunately the final chapter has not come to pass.

[canetoad]

14. Probably 20 years too late

Michael Kitchen, if he was younger.

[hlthe2b]

16. loved him in Foyle's War n/t

[VMA131Marine]

20. ++1!

[anneboleyn]

30. I feel that way with Colin Firth, who was born in 1960 and is closer to Steeles age but in movies

they often cast younger (and presumably they would show some of Steele’s past work for MI6). Hence my choice of Matthew Goode, who was born in 1978.

[Greybnk48]

15. Eddie Redmayne. N/t

[GrapesOfWrath]

17. How about... Sean Bean

[link:http://<img "

[hlthe2b]

18. elevated to "Game of Thrones" level---that'd work

[VMA131Marine]

19. Michael Sheen would be good

Sans beard obviously

[lagomorph777]

21. It'll be hard to find an actor that good-looking.

And I'm a straight dude. But damn I'm jealous.

[anneboleyn]

23. My vote Matthew Goode. Hes sensational in every way.

[Blindingly apparent]

31. I am visually impaired so forgive me for not knowing

Is this the blob from the 1950s horror movie? If so good Choice

[anneboleyn]

22. I HAVE BEEN ASKING THIS FOR WEEKS! Eddie Redmayne no. Matthew Goode yes!

Like OP, I love Clive Owen, but I’m not sure this would be the role for him (although he has played MI6 types before). I don’t like Dan Stevens at all (didn’t like him in Downton Abbey and even less since he left — his self-consciousness on camera really annoys me).

I think I’d vote for Matthew Goode, who is a sensational actor and has the handsome look and debonair swagger appropriate for the Steele role. Goode has turned in some outstanding performances (opposite Colin Firth in A Single Man for just one example — I love Firth too but he’s too old for this role — even though he’s closer to Steele’s real age. Goode is an ideal candidate). IMHO of course.

He looks pretty damn good in photos but even better while moving on film:

[hlthe2b]

24. mmmmm... I crushed hard on him when he was on the Good Wife... n/t

[sfwriter]

26. Keep in mind, it will be a Cohen brothers film...

They are the only filmmakers that can capture criminal ineptitude well enough to tell the tale.

[anneboleyn]

27. I love A Simple Plan (inept crime) That movie made me respect Billie Bob Thornton as an actor.

Of course the Big Lebowski is my favorite Coen brothers film.

[tblue37]

32. If he were still alive, I'd vote for Bill Paxton. nt

[XRubicon]

34. Pierce Brosnan

aka Remington Steele

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083470/?ref_=nv_sr_1

[meadowlander]

35. Christopher Guest

He’s the spitting image. The first time I saw Steele I thought I’d stumbled into a spy mockumentary.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

36. Rupert Graves?

Although Steele himself is pretty hot...

[aquamarina]

37. Simon Baker!

[tanyev]

39. Ooh, Jeremy Northam, please.

[superpatriotman]

40. Tom Huddleston

[Glimmer of Hope]

43. Yes please.

[Mr. Ected]

41. Christopher Guest, circa 2000.

[kydo]

45. Liam Neeson
