I think they were both fairly well-known before those movies, too--Thomas Jane for "61*" as I mentioned above...I was very familiar with him from that. Tobey I remember from "The Cider House Rules" and as the voice actor of the dag in that Jeff Goldblum movie "Cats and Dogs" which I never watched more than a part of.
And Red, how did I know you were going to say that?!?

I think that someone that can act crazy or insane or even mentally ill should work-out and become him. Like they did for green goblin, they need Jim Carrey or Kevin Bacon to play Venom. And the one who doesnt should get the role of Cletus Kassidy. Don't criticise about Jim Carrey, he doesn't HAVE to act funny. I've seen him serious in a few movies, and from watching Cable Guy, he'd be perfect for the insane part.

I think the actors you mentioned are better suited to play Cletus instead of Venom especially Jim Carrey because he even looks and acts like Cletus.
