Perfect Casting Part Three

But I see his face as "roundish"--maybe a little "jowly", but not in any kind of "obese" sense--picture a face shaped like Richard Nixon, but with a much narrower (non-ski slope) nose, less "scowly", more amiable expressions, hair comparable to Don King's but more black than gray and with a more receded hairline, and glasses. That's Butters to me. Paul Giamatti is the real-life actor that comes closest, as I said, be he still doesn't get it. Not in the same sense as, say, I see Jack Black as perfect for Will Borden (have never pictured anyone else for the role).

Seriously, Jack Black? He'd have to really hit the gym to fit my image of Will Borden, and I think even with Hollywood Age he would be too old for the early Billy era.

Jack White maybe?
James Black?
Jack's Black (label)?
Jack in Black Skellington?

Maybe is a matter of perspective. I'm 60. Jack Black looks young to me. In "School of Rock" he looked young enough to be Will Borden per my visualization. Don't think that was all that long ago. I realize he might not look so young to people who are young themselves.

Jack Black is 44 and School of Rock came out in 2003. He would have been 32-33 in that movie. Fool Moon came out in, what...2001? And Will was 19 or so at that time. Also, Will is pretty fit from all the werewolfing and I've never heard anyone refer to Jack Black as fit.
I can't remember JB's description, but for me Jack Black is good for Mortimer. For Will...that's a tough one. I'd say Johnny Galecki, but he's my Butters and he is too old now.
