Billy Magnussen and Luke Bracey are two of the actors up for the role of Christian Grey. |
One is Billy Magnussen, who played Casey Hughes on AS THE WORLD TURNS and earned a Tony nomination earlier this year for his work in "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" on Broadway. He's currently shooting the Into the Woods movie and his star is on the rise.
The other contender is Luke Bracey, who played Trey Palmer in Australian soap opera HOME AND AWAY.
Other actors said to be up for the starring role include Jamie Dornan, Christian Cooke and François Arnaud.
Although, I haven't read 50 Shades of Grey nor do I have any desire to do so, I think producers should go with relatively unknown actors for the main roles (á la Twilight, another book and movie blockbuster franchise, that I've never read nor watched).
ReplyDeleteKeeping my fingers crossed for Billy Magnussen.
Never read 50 shades of grey but i think James Scott "E.J from DAYS" would be a awesome casting as Christian Grey
ReplyDeleteCan't believe the amount of time and energy people and the media are putting into this talking about this crap.
