Dustin Clare--well...

Dustin Clare from Spartacus

On Monday I posted how Amber Heard's star is rising, with new roles in new movies, a marriage engagement with one of Hollywood's biggest stars, and so on...

And that's all and good for the actress I've pegged for the lead female role in my book Killer of Killers. But what about the actor I envisioned for the lead male character, the martial arts champion Trent Smith?

I had thought that Dustin Clare of Spartacus fame would be a great actor for the role. After all, in Spartacus he was a champion gladiator. Not that far of a reach then for the part of a martial arts champion. But unlike Amber Heard, well, his star seems to be idling.

I mean since Spartacus, he's only been cast in one movie, called Sunday, yet to be released, and even if it is released I doubt I'll be seeing it. That's because it's a Romantic Comedy, and I was just recently talking about my dislike of that genre. He's even listed as one of the co-writers.

Well, the man's got to earn a living, surely, and those types of movies are popular...WITH WOMEN. And since I'm not a woman, I believe I won't be watching it. No thanks.

This is interesting, though. Amber Heard is starring in the movies that seem to be right up the alley of a story like Killer of Killers. I mean check it out. Amber Heard's movies have names like Machete Kills and 3 Days to Kill. So Amber Heard is the right actress for Killer of Killers all right.

Again, Dustin Clare has got to do what he's got to do. But I'm surprised Hollywood seems to be overlooking him, since he was nothing short of terrific in Spartacus.

But just like I noted that Amber Heard still needs the definitive role to establish her as an A-lister, apparently, so does Dustin Clare. Oh, if only some Hollywood producer type guy would read Killer of Killers, love it, and then want to film it. Then maybe both actors can finally have their definitive leading roles. In an action movie, I mean.

In the meantime, I do hope Sunday is a big hit for Dustin's sake, and I hope he gets more parts, but hopefully those parts will be in movies that will make him an action hero like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Jason Statham. Those are the kinds of actors who would be suitable for a story like Killer of Killers. But none of them would be right for the part of Trent Smith.

Dustin Clare, I think would be right for the part of Trent Smith, and he proved he can do it in Spartacus. So here's to hoping Killer of Killers gets made into a movie, and Dustin gets the lead role. But that will take sales of the book to get it noticed. For that I need you, the readers of this blog to buy copies. Let's make it happen.
