I also think George Clooney should be him because he looks like him and talks like him and has a dark sense of humor.

Sean Bean. Yeah, I think he could be a choice, I still think Kurt Russell would be ideal for the role, but Bean is a good choice too.

Clooney is far too smooth and clean cut for this role. Even in the Peacemaker he couldn’t shake that.

i think that the entire movie rides on who is cast as Sam. if its a bad choice then the movie would lose that spark in amoungst the political warfare and spy games. the witty sarcasm adds flavour to a somewhat overdone genre, thats why i think the game is so damn good.
i have possibly the best and sometimes overlooked actor for the part, well i think so anyway: Sean Bean!
he is old enough to pass as Sam but not not old to squeze into the black skin tight attire. if he could get the accent right, not only could he pull off the dialogue so well, im positive he could do the physical aspect as well.
i know that John Campea is a fan of Bean’s work, maybe John feels the same way as i do.

Oh yeah Cody, two excellent choices! Kurt Russell would totally rock as Fisher.

I think Kurt Russell or Bruce Willis would look and sound best as Sam Fisher even though Bruce Willis isn’t mentioned in the interview he is mentioned at Team Shadow Net and I think either of them would be best.

That’s an intriguing casting idea, Mark.

James Denton (the Desperate Housewives guy) would possibly be a good choice for this (certainly better than Thomas Jane was for the Punisher). Denton is not young-young, and the producers could probably get him for cheap. It would also help get the women viewers of Desperate Housewives to watch this Clancy flick. I think Denton has the potential to be “moulded” into Sam Fisher.

Yeah, you’re definitely right there Mark. Perhaps not the right way to go, but I think that’s the way he’ll do it.

I have a feeling they’re going to cast against type for this role and go with some hot flavor of the month. You know that guy on Desperate Housewives, the handsome widower with the dog that Teri Hatcher’s character has been eyeing? I could see him being cast for this, and he might not be half bad actually.
