4. How about Russell Crowe with glasses? |
|
Actually he kinda looks like George Lucas, but I doubt Lucas would want to act! :o)

Of course, there are prolly other actors that actually look like Phillips. I just can't think of who they are.

11. I would go for Cheech |
|
And I would alter the script so the pirates were actually Mexican drug runners with a few pounds of pot, in an enclosed boat, and nothing to do for days.

17. and he would want to escape? |

19. If it's a TV movie he probably won't do it. My vote goes for Kurt Russell. |
|
He's due for more attention, plus the money guys who run Hollywood want to give a job to one of their own.

24. I think Hanks would do a TV movie depending on the subject matter... |
|
If he felt this story needed to be told and the only way was via the television, I don't think he would turn it down.
On the other hand, Kurt Russell isn't a bad choice either.

22. That's easy: Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, and Josh Hartnett. |

39. And you know, he could TOTALLY make it worth watching. |
|
He gets a lot of grief, and deservedly so... But when he's good, he's very VERY good.
"The Vampire's Kiss" springs to mind.

36. He was a real hero putting himself in harm's way for his crew. |
|
He doesn't deserve anyone's wrath.
But we should look at how other countries are fishing the somali waters, and why the pirates are being recruited to defend their waters.
