 New topic to hopefully get some activity started. I will be kicking off Johnny West University in April but thats to far away. Pick your five favorite Johnny characters and name the actor, modern or vintage, who would portray them in the movie and why. Johnny: Chuck Connors-No reason other than when I played Johnny I always thought his voice would sound like the Rifleman. Geronimo: Graham Green-The first time I saw Dances with Wolves I thought of Geronimo. Sam Cobra: Alan Rickman-Plays such a good bad guy. Think Quigley Down Under! Sheriff Garrett: Wilford Brimley-Ignoring the chubby factor he is Garrett all the way. Jay West: Ron Howard-Mayberry Edition, you would have to die the hair but hey this is Hollywood.

Hey! neat idea!
And I agree with your choices! (maybe including Sam Eliot as Custer and Richard Boone as Cobra!)
I decided to aproach this from a "If they were Presently casting" angle.
Johnny West: Mark Valley
Jane West: Jane Lynch
Sheriff Garret: Tom Selleck
Sam Cobra: Kurt Russell
Chief Cherokee: Jimmy Smits
Geronimo: Adam Beach
Fighting Eagle: Wes Studie
Princess Wildflower: Angelina Jolie
George Custer: Thomas Hayden Church
Capt Maddox: Brad Pit
Jeb Gibson: Denzel Washington
Zeb Zackary: Ben Affleck

[Jolie as Wildflower??? You have got to be kidding!!!]
Hey I like my Princess Wildflower to be wild and fiesty ! (besides, I couldn't think of anyone else contemporary.
And as for Fort's vintage lineup....WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME AND MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Who would be a better fit for Thunderbolt? "Trigger" or for a little more personality "Mr Ed"?
