Actors i personally would use for our film


This is Seth Rogan, a talented actor, comedian and writer, who started his career doing stand-up comedy as a teen. Rogen was born in 1983 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Rogan's first big film was '40 year old virgin' (2005) and since has gone on to do many successful films. During his film 'Zack and Miri Make a Porno' (2008), Rogan played a loser called Zack. Zack, who is in his mid-thirties, lives with his best friend and works in a coffie house trying to make ends meet. I would take his character from this film and give him a geekier feeling which would could tranform him into the Bob needed for our film. The look shown below would fit Bob perfectly.



The reason Rogan would fit perfectly is simple due to his ability to bring a variety of characters to life each time with a humourous feel. He is a master of comedy and in the real world seems to be an actual geek making him perfect for Bob. 



This is Michael Cera; he is Canadian and was born in 1988. He made his first big film apperance in 'Superbad' (2007) where he played Evan; one of the lead characters out of a trio of geeks. Michael seems to be a geek anyway and then plays them well, deomonstrated by his now large film history of playing either the geek or a weak character. He always seems to play the intellectual geek who is a book worm. This would fit the character Stuart perfectly. If he had longer hair he would be perfect. However, say we were a big industry and could have him as an actor, he could just grow his hair.


As a child, I watched James Franco because of the spiderman films but only recently realised he is a huge actor capable of becoming anybody he wanted. He is very talented and has a huge contrast of characters he has portryed. In 'Pineapple Express' (2008), James played a drug addict geek called Saul Silver. This was the film that made me first aware of his comedy skills as an actor. In 'Spiderman' films to he also plays Harry Osborn: a calm geek who isnt humourous at all but yet still a geek who would fit the character Tom well. As Tom is arguably the most normal of all the geeks. I would take the James Franco comedy character, Saul Silver, and his boring but clever geek Harry Osborn and produce a new character that would fit Tom perfectly.

Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz was born in 1972 in San Diego. Though she would be too old for Stacey, I would want an actress like her to portray our Stacey. Reason being is that in 'Something about Mary' (1998), Diaz played a humourous, attractive woman that several guys were fighting for. Diaz's character was also geeky in some ways making her perfect to play our geeky, attractive, cool Stacey.
