Captain Awesome a Potential Captain America?

[WyldeMan45]

I only have one word for this, AWESOME..............



Captain Awesome for Captain America?

Though he’s not going to be without competition (I imagine every young actor in Hollywood with a half-decent agent will get to read) “Chuck” actor Ryan McPartlin (yep, Captain Awesome himself!) tells Moviehole that he recently auditioned for the role of shield-wielding Steve Rogers.

In an interview to promote his work on “Chuck”, I couldn’t help but wonder whether McPartlin's peeps have put his name forward to “Captain America” director Joe Johnston for consideration (particularly since the actor has expressed interest in the part in the past).

And seems they have.

“The one thing I can't stand are these actors that are twittering about auditioning for Captain America. It's really tacky. With that said, it is in the casting process and like many other actors, I read for it, so we'll wait and see what happens. Regardless, I'm pretty psyched to be Captain Awesome for the time being.”

McPartlin's terrific on “Chuck” – fastly becoming the break-out star of the show, in fact – and I tell ya, I wouldn’t be opposed at all to him acquainting himself with the Super Serum. Still, as McPartlin said, he's merely one of what one imagines to be a large mass of actors who have read for the role, and he hasn't got the gig. Yet. Source

How can anybody not love Captain Awesome, I think he has shown real growth over the course of the show, and I'd be all for him as C.A.

The best scene has to be this year when he's telling Ellie the lie about jogging through the park and finding the bear in the tree, and then decapitating it. lol

[Meeklo]

I am the self proclaimed authority on casting in Marvel movies....and I give my blessing on this guy to play Captain America!

[vegeta88]

I've never seen this guy before but he certainly looks like Captain America. Why not

Absolutely, I loved how she played off of it making us and him think just very briefly she actually believed he decapitated a bear while jogging. That was some crazy off the wall dialogue for Chuck. Has anybody else ever noticed how much Dr. Devin Woodcomb looks like real life Dr. Travis Stork from tv's The Doctors? I always laugh whenever I see that on.

Here are a few more photos for that he aren't familiar with his work or where wondering is he's built right for Captain America. He's a board certified personal trainer, so atleast he would know how to bulk up even more if necessary pretty easily.

That would be great if he managed to get the part. I really like his character on Chuck too. (I managed to make a whole post without using his character's name)

[Moefiz]

I think he would make an awesome C.A....has the looks for it...

[PS3-Playb3yond]

He does look the part. We'll see who gets it.

[WyldeMan45]

Wow, I am really surprised that so far everybody has agreed on him, lol. This is probably the first time in the history of the board that everybody thought someone named for a comic legend would be good for the part.

[STEVEfromLA]

I think he would be "awesome", lol.

[Clark Kent]

He's got the perfect physical look, and I would cast him as Captain America in a heartbeat. But I doubt the studio casts an unknown actor outside of a small supporting role from a show with mediocre ratings, for the lead in a movie expected to pull in over $100 million.

Brandon Routh wasn't super well known when he was cast as Superman.

Hugh Jackman wasn't super well known all over when he was cast as wolverine for the X Men movies

i don't know how well known Christopher Reeve was super well known when he was cast as Superman.

the Fantastic Four cast as well, aside from Jessica Alba and Michael Chiklis.

[Clark Kent]

But Marvel's recent history has been to use established actors. Ed Norton as the Hulk and Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man are the two most notable examples. Wolverine was an ensemble character in the first X-Men movie, so viewers got comfortable with Jackman as him.

Doesn't seem like a bad choice to me. I think the role of cap needs to be a relative unknown. I'm more concerned with who they cast as the Red Skull. Im voting Mads Mikkelsen for that one:

Wolverine was an ensemble character, but he was still a major one even in the first movie.

I get what you are saying and I'm not arguing with you, but it's not out of the question for them to use another lesser known actor as the star. They have used lesser known people as the star of their movies about as much as they have used big stars recently. We'll see.

Screenrant is reporting a rumor that it is between this guy and CHAD MICHAEL MURRAY.

Murray...really?


That's gotta be false. I just don't see it.
