Can somebody PLEASE explain to me why people are hell bent on wanting Vin Diesel or The Rock for Venom? They don't look ANYTHING like Brock, and The Rock isn't even a good actor!!! Eddie Brock is CAUCASIAN!! THat is like saying the perfect person to cast for Mary Jane is Kelly Hu, or if you want the best Batman, why don't you go with Wesley Snipes "because he has a dark edge to him and we all saw what he could do in Blade!". People, come on. We have to look past that these two guys are built. Tobey wasn't built but he worked out, and so could any actor that wants to play Brock/Venom. And Venom would be CG anyway so thats not a problem, but we need somebody who resembles Brock in AT LEAST his skin tone.
Next thing I hear better not be "Why don't we get a middle eastern female to play James Bond? Hey, the girl's got the agility, c'mon!"
The actor's name is Michael O'Hearn and the pic is from his short film "World's Finest" which stars Batman and Superman. Below is the link where you can judge for yourself from at least 20 different pictures of him in the film. http://www.supermanhomepage.com/images/capedwonder/Worlds-Finest/WF1-tb.html
