Maybe study? Bo-ring. :)
Anyway, I have been thinking about my stories becoming a movie someday, and I thought about who I would want cast in it.
For Jake, I picked Shawn Ashmore.
First reason: he's so gorgeous. Mmm!
Second reason: he is well known for playing the "heroic" type. Most of you probably know him from the X-men series. And for those of you who know Nickelodeon old school, you might remember him from the Animorphs series. I think he'd make a great Jake Harper.
For Mary Ellen, I picked Hilary Duff
First reason: she's sweet, wholesome, and very "Mary."
Second reason: I saw an episode of "Law and Order" with her in it, playing a very dramatic and controversial role. While her strong points are funny, family-friendly comedies, I think she also shines in more serious contexts. Mary, Just Mary is something I would like to be both funny and charming, as well as thought-provoking and serious.
Third Reason: she and Ashmore have performed together before in Cadet Kelly and in my opinion they compliment each other very well.
For John, I chose Shia LeBeouf
First Reason: Shia LeBeouf is one of the most versatile young actors I've seen. He's done well in every film I've seen him in and has a lot of talent.
Second Reason: his past mirrors John's past in several ways. He grew up poor in a single-parent household and had to struggle to get to where he is today. I have a lot of respect for him and think he would be perfect for this role.
To add to this post, I'm bringing in Alyssa Milano as Babs.
She's one of my favorite actors, and was a lead role in one of my favorite TV shows, Charmed. She can be sweet and tough at the same time, which is very important for Babs's character.
Anyway, those are the ideas I have so far. I would love to know what you guys think. Who would you pick to play Becky? Margie? Mrs. Fickley?
