The Perfect Role

[gunnar hendershow]

Samuel L. Jackson as Jules Winnfield in Pulp Fiction. I think another guy could've played Vincent Vega (not neccesarily as WELL, though), but Sam as Jules is fucking PERFECT and I can't envision anyone else doing it. Bruce Willis as Butch was just about perfect too.

I thought just about all the roles in that movie were absolutely perfect. Though you're right, I could envision someone else as Vincent.

I'd also say that Michael Madsen as Budd in Kill Bill was a perfect role also.

Tarantino really gets great casts for his movies.

Russel Crowe in Gladiator

Pierce Brosnan (or however its spelt) in James Bond

Toby McGuire in Spider-Man

Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump

Michael Keating in Batman 1 and 2

I disagree. Jake Gyllenhaal could have done what Tobey did and do it better (like, with FACIAL EXPRESSIONS).

Denzel Washington as Alonzo Harris in Training Day

Denzel Washington as Coach Boone in Remember the Titans

With the mention of Rocky, Ive always thought Carl Weathers played the role of Apollo Creed perfectly in Rocky 1 2 3 and 4..

Robert De Niro as Jake La Motta in Raging Bull

Thats all I can think of that have not been mentioned..

Denzel Washington as Alonzo Harris in Training Day

Hell yes. I totally agree with that one.

Oh. Takeshi Kitano as, well, Kitano in Battle Royale.

Sean William Scott - Stiffler

I have to say he has it all for that part, no one has the look for that part like he does.

Ronald Reagan as the President...

Oh wait, that wasn't a movie.....

(BTW, I still thought the same thing about it before Reagan died...)

Ummm...

Mel Gibson as Mad Max

Speaking of which, did anybody notice that between The Bounty (1984), and Lethal Weapon 3, Gibson sported only long hair? I think the first time we got to "Modern Mel" was when he did Ransom. Ever since, he's used the short hair....

Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber in Die Hard.

Jeremy Irons as Peter Krieg/Peter Gruber/Simon in Die Hard 3.

The entire ensemble in True Lies....

Actually, come to think of it, James Cameron has done a pretty good job in all his casting.
