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.

    Bruce Willis, or somebody else (maybe younger & taller) w/ lots of swagger & bravado!!

    I really don't know of too many young actors (maybe Brad Pitt) who could play Galt.

    John Galt in my mind has always looked like Johnny Depp in The 9th Gate

    It is more important to me that the person embodies the true nature of the character. He must believe the words that John Galt speaks in order for the audience to take away there true intent. Who says that person must be an actor we know.

    B: most of the people in Hollywood are freaks and do not under stand what Ms. Rand talks about. We need someonr who has passion about freedom and liberty..

    Great question. There are some great actors, but I think if the actor has an understanding and passion that will come through and bring more authenticity to the character beyond just acting skills.

    Gods Hairy balls! Not again!
    Get a great, well-trained, good looking actor. Make him read the book! Any good actor wants to know as much as they can about their character. Well trained actors intersected with Objectivism is a dang small pool from which to draw. The only thing that might be annoying is if the actor is an outspoken liberal. Many have decided to boycott those actors' movies.
