Lyle Lovette is a brilliant piece of casting.  He's perfect physically, and he can act really well, and he 'gets' the western man thing.  I'm in awe!

Excellent deduction, Dal! Here's the curly-haired guy. What do you think? Can you see him as Jack??

Hmmm.... Well, I don't know.... would the young Dylan have looked good in a cowboy hat?  Also of course, we'd have to hear him sing "Water Walking Jesus" with that er, ah....  well, what would you call that voice?!   :D

BlissC:
Yeah, I can see a young Bob Dylan in a cowboy hat.  :D

It's difficult to imagine anyone but Heath and Jake as Ennis and Jack though, and for me it doesn't really matter that the physical descriptions weren't spot on. I think it was their performance of the characters that was the important thing, and in that respect I think Heath and Jake were true to the Ennis and Jack in the story, and I don't think you can improve on perfection.  ;)

Amen to that.  :)

Remember when there were rumors of these two being cast?
