Film School Rejects: Discuss: Who Would You Cast as Jerry Garcia?

  • Troy · 1 year ago
    I would cast nobody. Because no one would see it.
  • aaron · 1 year ago
    Teddy Geiger.
  • Rob Hunter · 1 year ago
    I vote for Jaden Smith.
  • james howlett · 1 year ago
    emile hirsch. maybe.
    that's a tough one.
  • Josh · 1 year ago
    Jack Black, duh.
  • Jonah · 1 year ago
    James Franco or Martin Starr.

    i agree, nobody's gonna watch it except Deadheads.

    but Emile Hirsch would be a good casting choice. Love him.
  • Mister Hand · 1 year ago
    Give it another twenty years or so so that he looks a LOT younger, and I think the casting choice is obvious: Eddie Van Halen.

    Oh, wait--which way does time go?

    Seriously, though.

    ya know shia's pops looks like a total dead head
    so if shia grew his jewfro out i could kinda see it
  • killa · 1 year ago
    are u serious about shia or was that like a witty joke? shia's certainly dirty enough but he's a little on the wispy side. james franco could do it, he's got the stoned thing down. seth rogen?
  • Taylor · 1 year ago
    Cedric Bixler-Zavala
  • The_Kid · 1 year ago
    If Shia wanted to prove he was a good actor he could probably play Garcia pretty well

    If this is to be about a young Jerry then you should have a fat guy like Jack Black or Seth Rogan. Jerry was quite thin untill the early eighties.
  • Jack Straw · 1 year ago
    Sorry I meant you should NOT have the fat guys.
  • Jack Straw · 1 year ago
    Jerry Rocks!!!!!!!!!
  • Ed Gauthier · 1 year ago
    Jack Black.

    No contest! Hey, the dude already looks EXACTLY like Jerry, and he's also a music freak!

    This is an absolute no brainer, man. And he's got the acting chops to pull an Oscar nom for it, too!

    So for bringin' out the ghost of Garcia, who ya gonna call? Jack Black! That's a fact!

    I just checked imdb.com's poll (the one inspired by yourselves). Jeff Bridges is leading among the human options (which'd be a great choice). I say 'human options' because 20-30% of participants in that poll don't know who Jerry Garcia is (!!!).

    Are people really that ignorant?
  • um · 1 year ago
    lol at you suggesting shia, all his fingers are still intact
  • liendre · 1 year ago
    i think adam sandler or eric bana would be good choices
  • eightlegeddj · 1 year ago
    in physical appearance, Emile Hirsh could be a good choice. I think the biggest issue
    would be the actors voice, not singing, but speaking voice. Jerry had a very
    unmistakable voice. Jack Black couldlose the weight but could he pull off the voice?
  • antonella · 11 months ago
    i think adrian grenier is the best for this role
  • DeadHeadly · 7 months ago
    Why not Joaquin Phoenix? He's let himself grow out, has played a dead rock legend with substance abuse problems before, and besides, the beard would cover that nasty hairlip
