The Perfect actor for Boba Fett (Page 2 of 3)

Well, there's a couple of concepts I'd like to challenge here. 

First of all, accent has nothing to do with this thread, as we're either talking about who we either think would have been the best actor for Boba *or Jango it seems.*  The field is entirely open; this is a subject of who we think most completely fulfills our image of Boba/Jango, both in AND out of armor *so pick Bale if you think he could have portrayed Boba the best AND is the image you have of what he'd look like under the helmet.*

All that being said, I still think Jason Statham is about as close to what I imagined was behind the mask as anybody.  He's about the right hight *maybe a little short; I'll have to look up how tall he really is.  Boba/Jerrmy is 5'10'' I think, and is the height I associate as being Fett's even if we replaced Jerrmy hypothetically with our chosen actor* he's got that low rough voice that I associate with Fett, and he's damn sure got the moves.  He's a little bit more heavily built then Boba i think, but it's the only flaw that I know of *Jerrmy/Boba was a little leaner as I recall*  And lastly, even though the English/Kiwi accent wasn't part of the original portrayal of Boba, the coming of KotOR and Ep. II has made those accents part of Mando culture.  So I'd live with the new voice as a step toward making Boba more Mandalorian, even of the older version was better *maybe, I'd love to hear Statham's version of the original lines*

Jackman..........I associate him with his movie Van Hellsing, even though it's not what he's best known for.  His look in that movie is NOT what I envisioned Boba as...the long hair especially.  He doesn't have a low enough voice for the job either in my opinion.  However, he's got about the right build, and could easily  pass himself off as a stone cold killer.  So he'd make a passable Boba.

Christian Bale......I'm not sure.  He's got the right build and as we all know can be a total Bad@$$, but there's something off to me about him as a Fett/Mando.  Not sure if it's his eyes, his voice, or what it is.  I could see him as being the best choice Lucas could have possibly made for Anikan Skywalker, but I don't see him as a Fett.  He comes across more as a Jedi to me for some reason. 

Eastwood is actually a hell of a choice, and one I wouldn't have thought of for some reason.  Lean build, chiseled/weathered face, low brow with those piercing eyes...  Only problem with be the country accent.  I've got one myself, so nothing against it, but I don't associate it with Boba for sure.  Might still work though; I'd love to hear his version of the original Boba lines as well.

Here's another for the mix.  Anybody think Brad Pitt could pull it off?  Normally I'd say absolutely not, but his performance in 'Troy' makes me consider him. 

Two more possible candidates are Bruce Willis and Vin Diesel.  As much of a Willis fan as I am, I'd probably lean toward Diesel for his voice and his leaner yet stronger build; though Willis as the cool and calm skills to do the job well I think

nah. Colin Farrell, Boba? just not possible *twitches at thought*

Lets be specific then Val... we dont mean the current OLD Clint Eastwood... we mean young and in his prime Eastwood correct?

Ah, so the Sergio Leone trilogy (A Fistful of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More, The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly) Clint Eastwood. Good choice.

you guys are forgetting something and its been bugging me....

none of these guys look anything like jango!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jango=boba
boba=jango

he must look a little like his clone.

oh, ok, gotcha

then i think i would pick.....

william dafoe?

idk

yeah, thats where i was coming from RD.

But we never saw Jeremy's face, and apparently that wasn't even HIS voice in the OT...replacing him woud've been pointless...Temuera however...

How about Jet Li as the actor? Short, but strong in his own right and Fett was a martial artist.

Hmmm...age wise, but Kal is described as smaller and leaner. I have no idea who could play Kal, and I'm not sure I'd want to seen anyone try--it would probably come off poorly.

Yes he DOES look like a blond Mando!
