ASP3: This is John Galt
Ideally, the actor playing John Galt in Atlas Shrugged Part 3 will appear to have jumped right off of the pages of Atlas Shrugged. However, in our quest to find the perfect John Galt, some tough choices may have to be made. That's where you come in.
If you had to choose, which would you consider the number one priority in casting John Galt?
A. As long as the actor looks and acts like John Galt, I don't care what his personal beliefs are.
B. The actor needs to possess a deep understanding of, and passion for, Ayn Rand's ideas first and foremost.

Actually... he might make a great Ragnar... look at this..

Pirate?
Dunno if he's massive enough though.
I wanted to make that my ringtone...
Adam Baldwin as Ragnar? I can see it...
Elijah Wood or Sean Astin as John Galt.
Jon Favreau, maybe...
McCaulay Culkin as Ragnar...
Josh Hutcherson as Galt, with AnnaSophia Robb as Dagny.
Viggo Mortensen as Ragnar? (can't recall.... but "...sen" is Norwegian, and "...son" is Swedish... or vice versa. Anyway, it's a Scandinavian thing.)
If we're going to "go back in time" to get actors when they were appropriate age, there's only one choice.... Mel Gibson.

Hm... What about Nicolas Cage? He's great in most everything he's done, but especially National Treasure.

And if they have to replace Dagny, I could live with Diane Kruger in the role.
Will he play with dinosaurs?
(I gave you a point for this)
This is why I still want D.B. Sweeney for Galt.
Throughout the story Dagny has been shown to have character, and y'all want to portray her as a faithless whore on the hunt for the most alpha male. Well, what the hell. That's what Rand did in the book, so why not?
Maybe we can add on to the story, so that Galt gets cancer from exposure to radiation or something, and as he's getting sicker and weaker, she runs and finds herself *another* alpha male to give herself to.
They took Jason Beghe away, they'll probably take Kim Rhodes and Samantha Mathis away... I want D.B. Sweeney as Galt.
