So Who Could Play the Role of John Dunn?

I've talked about actors and movies and my books, and who could play who in my books. Trent Smith, the lead character in Killer of Killers and the soon to be published Killer Eyes would be played by Dustin Clare, and Amber Heard could play the part of Samantha Jones, but who would play the role of John Dunn?

John Dunn was described as a medium to tall man with a strong build. He was bearded and had dark hair. Colin Farrell comes to mind, although he is Irish, whereas Dunn was of Scottish  descent. He's 38 right now, so once again the age factor will be a problem. I don't expect this book to be published before next year, so that means if anyone wants to make it into a movie, Colin Farrell will be in his forties by then.

After Colin Farrell, I'm not sure. Most of the well known leading men are getting too old now. And the up and comers haven't really established themselves yet. Not to me anyway. Actors who might have been right for the part include Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, and even Tom Cruise. But again, they're all too old now.

Some of the younger actors who might be right include Ryan Reynolds,, Joel Edgerton, Jai Courtney, and Ewan McGregor. Another actor could be Henry Cavill, but since he's Superman, that might not be a good idea. But on the other hand, maybe it would. Here's a photo lithograph of John Dunn, so  it's not like we don't know what he looked like. Which of these actors could be made to look like him? Hhhmmnn...
