Excellent Casting Choice

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

I'm sure there's a Yo Joe! thread around here somewhere, but I don't have time to look at the moment.

Ray Park is Snake Eyes.

Excellent, excellent choice. Snake Eyes is a bad motherfucker and so was Darth Maul.

Destro will be tough to cast. You need someone build, but not a muscle bound freak. Tall. Preferably with a Eastern European accent of some sort. Someone who talks very, very well. They've got to move slowly and with purpose.

Destro is basically Dr. Doom.

I can't think of anyone who would do the character justice.

I'm hoping for Bruce Campbell as "Shipwreck."

Destro was supposed to be Scottish, I thought.

I like Bruce, but it's hard to imagine him playing a convincing homosexual.

But you are correct to automatically see sailors as mos.

Was he? I thought he was Eurotrash or maybe that was...the Baroness(?)?

If he was Scottish, a young Sean Connery could do it. Hell, if he is Scottish I think your guy is going to be Jason Statham. They'd have to give him a deeper voice and tell him to talk with purpose.

Statham wouldn't be a bad choice, but I think Clive Owen can act worlds better.
