I would step outside the actor world and get Beck.
Since when did he start looking like a carrot stick? He looks like he's struggling under the weight of the scarf. I'd like to cast for The Secret History, but I can't remember the characters' names (though I remember the characters themselves nicely)! But for the guy who speaks great Greek, I'd choose Clark Kent in Smallville - Tom Welling. For the protagonist/narrator, I'd probably go for Tobey Maguire.

haw haw. I think that's an old pic. Still, he looks like a 15 year old no matter what.
I think the narrator of The Secret History is female? Thinking a Plath-ish type.--No just took a look and he is indeed male. I conflated Tartt with the narrator.

i never read the book or even heard about it, sorry!!direstraits said:
, but how can you put clark kent and Tobey Maguire in one movie?? that's funny!!honeydevil said:
well jeff goldblum comes to mind for sheer height and he was funny and adorable in jurassic park, also can be ripped and muscley (independance day)
also i like joaquin phoenix, for gentle and kind, and funny, but he isn't very tall. jon travolta is tall, but not so muscley these days.

yeah but jeff don't fit as a good cop, i think, and i like joaquin phoenix, but he should stay in 8 mm, sorry!!
i go more in the direction of blond, kind of brad pitt, but he's just too small!!
hmm... that's soo hard!! hollywood sucks, they don't have the right actor for the role!

You know, I didn't even realize I put 2 superheroes together in a sombre murder drama until you pointed it out!honeydevil said:i never read the book or even heard about it, sorry!!
The Greek speaking character is a built and handsome student, speaks excellent Greek and studious. Slap a pair of glasses on Tom Welling and voila. The narrator character is also studious, quite disoriented with what's happening and pining for a hot chick. So there - Tobey Maguire.
But hey, you've got an idea there! Imagine a Superman vs Spiderman extravaganza! Box office material, that.

and with this superman vs. spiderman, how do you want to make up a story, where both superheros (both against evil... bla bla) fight against each other?? i'm open for every thought!!

Oh, that's easy. Spiderman comes to Metropolis with MJ for honeymoon. Suddenly a group of ninjas appear out of nowhere to mug the couple. Boy did they make a mistake - Peter disappeared off a corner with MJ throws up a mock cry for help, and a fully garbed Spiderman emerges to battle the ninjas. One of the ninjas is apparently afraid of spiders, and proceeded to holler in fear.
In the meantime, Clark (who was chatting up to a pretty librarian, in Greek no less) heard the commotion and rushed to check out the scene. Noticing how ninja-like Spiderman was (Covered head costume = Spiderman = Ninjas, and since Ninja = bad, therefore Spiderman = bad), Clark engaged him in combat.
And, you guessed it, a group of pirates who just finished shopping saw MJ and decided to kidnap her.
Hmm... I'll have to think a little harder on the ending.

Nubile
Definition: (adj) of girls or women (of fertile or mature age)
synonyms: marriageable, mature
Wench
Definition: (noun) informal terms for a woman
Synonyms: bird, chick, dame, doll, skirt
Hence, it stands to reason that pirates are always looking for nubile wenches!!
