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.

    I think my "That's a good one!" WAS stating that I thought he was a good choice.

    It wasn't me...but you had it coming with your SARCASM!

    How about this: admit that he would be a good choice (and he would), and I will reinstate you this time?

    I think Tom Selleck would be a great John Galt.

    I would prefer an actor that embodies Ayn Rands' philosophy and demeanor of the strength of the John Galt character portrayed in AS.

    B. It should be a non discovered talented actor to go along with the great cast from part I. Part II had better better overall quaility but the acting went downhill.

    Yes, I remember hearing (from objectivists) how much "buzz interest" there was for Part I. And it bombed. Same with Part II.

    I think you just nailed it. Larry Wilcox could be a perfect choice - within budget and available. And having met him, I would be willing to bet he's read AS and is in sync with its message. I just Googled him - he has matured well and would fit the role of a successful businessman fed up with the mediocrity of a bureaucracy run amok and ready to teach the world a less.

    The producers would do well to track him down and talk to him. The last time I had contact with him, he was still in/around Studio City/Sherman Oaks.

    He is a very convincing actor in his current role on Elementary. And the more I watch him, the more I see John Galt!!
