« Last post by JediJman on Today at 04:08 PM »Funny thing, we had a 45 minute conversation. He professed to be an insider and an expert on all things geek, but he had no idea what he was talking about.
Are you sure it wasn't Jayson?
Sorry, couldn't resist.3

« Last post by JediJman on Today at 04:07 PM »IIRC everybody wanted a short, stacked guy with a bad attitude to play Wolverine and here comes Jackman, who wasn't exactly jacked up before the role, and he's like 6'2", and he was more famous for doing theater at the time.
He didn't really jump off the casting page as the type of guy you'd cast in that part.
E...
I'd argue that anybody basing casting judegements off of height in this day and age is a moron. They easily make tall guys look short and a midget look like the tallest guy in the room. I think Jackman's facial expressions and overall look made him a clear choice from the start, but maybe I was in the minority with that opinion.
I definitely can't see anyone else playing that role as well now. Just like Iron Man - I can't imagine anyone could outdo Downey's take on Stark, whereas the guys who've played Spiderman or Batman seem far more interchangeable.

Right, this was my recollection as well. Man, that was a LONG time ago...
I do recall a lot of people wanted Danzig, who would have been awesome but who knows whether the dude can act. Jackman was largely an unknown at that time I believe.
He's made the role his own though, hard to imagine anyone else doing it now. I give him props for a job well done.
