CAST LIST

The way I've chosen my "Macbeth" castlist was based on the apparition of each actor, and which roles I could see being played by them. These actors represent very well what I pictured for every character in the play:

                                        
Ashton Kutcher as: MACBETH

I think that this role is perfect for the oustanding actor Ashton Kutcher! He is an amazing actor, who can impersonate every role given, from being the innocent one to the immoral crazy character, which is exactly what I need as my Macbeth!

Helena Bonham as: LADY MACBETH

Ever since I've seen her Helena's performance on the role of Belatrix Lestrange on "Harry Potter", and the Queen of Hearts in "Alice in Wonderland", I knew that she was the perfect candidate for the role of crazy lady Macbeth! Although looking sweet and delicate, Bonham can also express her dark and fanatic side, and will blow us away.

 

Leonardo Di Caprio as: BANQUO

Brillant, loyal, and honest, Di Caprio can definitely pull off the role of Banquo! His modest, and thoughful look is exactly what I wanted for Banquo's character, and who wouldn't like Leornardo as their best friend?!

William Moseley as: FLEANCE

We do not know much about Banquo's son, Fleance, but I thought it was important to include him, since he was promised a good future in the play. Being the son of Banquo, and with no lady mentionned, I assumed that Fleance was raised alone by his faher, so they definitely hold a close relationship. I see Fleance as honest, intelligent and brave, which I think is nicely portrayed in Moseley's appearance.

Gene Hackman as: KING DUNCAN

For king, I was looking for a very noble looking man, that is highly respected by others. Also a little naive and too trusting, I think that Hackman can carry that look very well! His serious appearance makes him a true believable king.

Johnathan Jackson as: MALCOM

The one who inherits the title of king, but runs away after the death of his father, I think the Jackson worried young look potrays well the character of the wise Malcom. First afraid and untrustworthy, Malcom becomes a brave man, who steps up to save his country. Jonhathan Jackson's intense and serious figure is what convinced me to choose him as the character of Malcom.



Tommy Lee Jones as: MACDUFF

His extremely serious and noble appearance definitely matches the character of Macduff, king Duncan,s friend and nobleman, who clearly sees what Macbeth is hiding. He is brave, and cares deeply for his country. Tommy Lee Jones looks like the man ready to fight for the right reasons, and is determined to get to his goal.
