"Julius Caesar" Casting List

Since our class read Julius Caesar we have to pick out actors that we think could depict them well in a movie adaptation.

 To act as Caesar I picked Joaquin Phoenix. He played Johnny Cash in a movie awhile back. I picked him because he has a face that says, "I think I'm better than everyone else." I also think about Caesar being young because usually people that are ambitious are more on the younger side.

To act as Brutus I chose Bruno Gunn. He is going to be playing Brutus in Catching Fire and has acted in a couple of other movies. Most people who are bald are pretty noble. I imagined Brutus as a middle aged man.

To act as Cassius I picked Wes Bentley. He acted as Seneca Crane in the Hunger Games. I think this is a good depiction of Cassius because of how he has a "lean and hungry" look to him according to Caesar. 

To act as Mark Antony I picked Xavier Samuel. He played Riley in Eclipse (part of the twilight series). I picture Antony as someone who is very loyal and trustworthy, but also has that anger in him showed by Antony. I also imagine Antony as a young boy in his twenty's.
