WHICH ACTOR SHOULD PLAY CHRISTIAN GREY?

WHICH ACTOR SHOULD PLAY CHRISTIAN GREY?

A lot of you have strong opinions as to who should play Christian Grey. This poll is here for you to voice your opinions. Although none of us is casting the character, most of us have strong feelings choosing the actor who should become and be associated with Christian Grey. In any book that we love, we end up identifying with characters, and we sort of own them, and anyone who is less worthy to represent that character obviously is a deterrent for us to go and see that particular movie. So, the casting director(s) should pay attention to the public voice.

You can choose more than one actor if you are indecisive.

If you want to persuade, or help your peers to decide, speak out and write why you think a particular actor should be chosen. You’re the ones who will eventually go and see the movie after all, so why shouldn’t you have a voice in bringing one of the most successful books in modern history into life?

MINI BIO:

Was born in Germany to a military family and raised in Parker, Colorado for the most part.  After seeing the movie “Top Gun” he realized that his heat was with acting & relocated to LA.  Eventually his performances in small parts in CSI: NY and Days of our Lives brought him to the attention of the casting crew of Men in Trees in which he played the part of Anne Heche’s love interest “Cash”.

I added Scott Elrod late in the game. The images and info provided courtesy of Ile. But we can't change the voting once it has started (can't add or substract a name). However this way, you can see that there is another possible face in the game.

Now cast your vote who you wish to see as Christian. Thank you!
