How about using Scott Caan ("Boiler Room", "Ocean's 11") to portray a young Santino in the possible fourth installment. In addition to being James Caan's son, he's a dead ringer for his old man and definately has the attitude. If you don't believe me, check out "Boiler Room". What do you guys think?

You dont know how many times this has popped up or how many people are against it.Many of us(me included) do not think S.Caan is a good enough actor to carry such a serious and important role.I also dont think he looks to much like his father.

I also mentioned it to. I think he looks like his dad. It might work. Who's to say that he would even want such an important role or that the exec's at Paramount would even offer it to him.

Someone suggested Scott Speedman awhile ago.
I thought it was a mildly entertaing suggestion

Young Sonny has to look like a hard-ass street punk, ready to rumble. I've thrown it out there before, but I think Mark Wahlberg would have the right look for the role.
He does, at least in my opinion, reasonably resemble James Caan at about the same age (mid-late 20s).

Y'know, I've got to throw Leonardo Dicaprio into the mix too. He's got the tough guy thing going from Gangs of New York, he's a good actor and he's paisan to boot.

Vin Diesel would do great! NOT. Di Caprio wouldnt do that bad, hes a good actor as, and as long as he wasnt a pretty boy, the he way born to be, he would be great, his dad was italian...he would suit that decently.

I wish Ray Liotta was not old, he would be awesome if he could pull off another movie, Though if I were to see someone there with heritage not related to that but with a good performance would be Barry Pepper (Saving Private Ryan, We were Soldiers, Knockaround Guys), hes a great actor, and seemed to pull of anything mob-related in knockaround guys off pretty well..

Believe it or not I have only seen the trilogy one..and a half times.AND that was awhile ago...though I think Di Caprio is actually a little too tall for the act, James is 5'11" and Leonardo is 6'1" ....I dont know who all nowadays could pull it off.

I donno haha

I'm sorry, Leonardo DiCaprio is a good actor, but I'd never want to see him as a mobster.

Scott Speedman would be a great choice...


I woke up this morning with nothing to do and went to bed with only half of it done.
