DEH Movie Cast Controversy/Dream Cast — Page 2

Sutton Ross said: "Feeling a little feistytoday, are we? Okay, I'll play.

I said nothing about hating anyone. When I saw DEH, I was crying or absorbing his anxious energy the whole time. I have never been happier or more miserable in a theater. Ever. He was brilliant and deserved every award ever for that role. No other person has ever even come close to his portrayal. Not ever. However, he is not exciting or anything special on screen. Much like Audra or Norm, he shines best when he is on stage.

I am not a fan of nepotism, and I don't like the idea of a 27/28 year old man playing the role if someone could be better on screen. If you honestly think he would be automatically cast in the role (when no other principal actor from the OBC is)if his Father was not producing it, you are delusional. And Ben sacrificed his entire self for that role, his mental and physical health. And the results were staggering. If he is not up for that kind of self sacrifice again, he shouldn't do it. That is what I meant by in the zone. Real simple.

Don’t like it? Don’t go see it. Even MORE simple. You’re welcome.

He'll still look younger than Stockard Channing in Grease...


The casting of Stockard Channing and the rest of the older actors in 1978’s GREASE was intentional. In order to make the almost-30 Olivia Newton-John look younger, they had to balance her out with older actors. Many in the cast also thought it was ludicrous when they were approached but then understood their intention.
