Casting Call: Who will play John Karr the Weirdo in the movie?

[Philosoraptor]

You know there will be at least one move made about this weirdo, who will play him? An unknown? Yeah, for the cheap t.v. movie, but who in the big screen version?

Someone young, smooth, thin, and creepy. Start by eliminating the obviously unqualified, Christopher Walken is too old, Jim Carey too flambouyant, Mel Gisbon is crazy enough, but too butch.

John Malcovich? too old. Johnny Depp? too cute. Andy Dick? hhhmmmm.

Ann Coulter? she's got the throat resemblence going for her, but she's just too crazy to play this weirdo

1. how about

one of the Olsen twins...they are weird enough in their own right to qualify.

2. he looks like a very young Nicholas Cage ...

so maybe that would be a good choice, but I doubt Cage would lower himself to such a role.

3. Woody Harrelson

He might have to diet some to get that thin build. He can play creep well too.

4. Andrew McCarthy

He seems to have a kind of dissipation vibe. Of course, the right haircut would be critical.

5. Well, he dresses like Ed Grimley.

6. I like him, but the first person I thought of is Topher Grace.

I certainly don't think Topher Grace is creepy. Not at all. And he is a decent actor (see "Traffic"). But, imo, Grace does look a little like John Karr. Again, imo.

7. Jake Gyllenhaal

He would be perfect! He's good at playing a creepy guy.
