Candidates for Peter Parker
I think #1 has the geeky look required
Potential Spidermen
#10 has the Tobey McGuire look.
#1 looks about 8 years old.
It's really hard to judge these people based on these pictures but yeah #1 looks really young and #'s 9 and 14 look too old.
Some of them could definitely play the nerdy angle but they also have to believably be a superhero..
I'm going to say #4, 5, 10, and 13 don't look terrible.

yeah 1 looks WAY TOO YOUNG
Personally, I vote 11
also, 14 has a receding hair line.

These people are just random...at the open calls they went around asking for people's emails and headshots. They asked me for mine and a quote but it didn't make it to the article I guess. I don't think these people are actually in callbacks.

#1 apparently got all his friends to post comments on the article too.
4 and 6 do it for me personally.

I'll go insane if #8 gets it. Broadway is not meant for MySpace whores.
And I love how we're completely judging based on first look.
DUUUUUUHHHH!!! Why cast them if they don't look the part?
My choices.
"I'll go insane if #8 gets it. Broadway is not meant for MySpace whores."
Well then I guess you'd be happy to know that he will definitely not even be given a second look. I went to high school with him and he SUCKS. He is also a myspace whore.
Did anyone read #12?

“Higher,” Creed.
“I grew up in a small town where I was the only openly gay man. I endured quite a bit throughout my high-school life. When I look at Peter Parker, with his self-obsessions with rejection, inadequacy, and loneliness, I feel as though a lot of young people can relate to this character. I especially could.”
OWWWWHHH, you were gay in a small town. So are A LOT of people, big deal.

#12 looks familiar to me... and is from a town in my area-ish. I must know him somehow.

Hard to base solely on looks. I don't really think Peter Parker would have a "high, rock voice" as some of the contestants have stated. He seems more like a genuine musical theater type voice to me.
#14 looks like he'd be more suitable for Tony in Billy Elliot.
#s 5, 11 and 13
but #13 wins on personality:

I don't think #1 got all his friends to comment. It looks like he wrote all those comments himself. It's kind of funny. Does he think anybody involved with the show is going to read those comments and give him the part based on them?
Based on appearance, I like 1,2,4 and 10
Is this some "reality" game?
I'll take 5 and 10.
I'd like to get caught in #6's web!
