Our man Caron is partnering with Marky Mark on what will surely be a big movie.

Congrats to Caron.

Hopefully UCONN and HOFHCJC are very positively and prominently featured.

Could lead to great UCONN publicity and recruiting help.

Based on Caron's words in his writing and press as well as what he has said in multiple interviews, Calhoun and UConn will certainly play a huge role in his story.

OK... In all seriousness, who on earth plays Jim Calhoun?

Best answer from the last time this was asked in a similar thread was Brian Dennehy, I think that'd be a home run cast.

Completely Agree.

Perfect Casting.

He's too fat. There's also the whole stolen valor thing.

 

[k9fanatic]

Ken Howard from White Shadow, of course.

Too Old.

How about HOFHCJC play himself?

 

[Leebo]

Jamey Sheridan

I just hope Walberg isn't the one to play Caron.

This guy? Seriously?

Kevin Spacey with a bad boston accent. I'm not kidding.

 

[CL82]

Walberg is playing Calhoun.

No! No smiling! Glower Mark, glower!

Calhoun playing Calhoun

 

[Shabazzkets]

This guy? Seriously?

Yeesh, he aged...poorly. Denehy did play Bob Knight at some point, too, which disqualifies him in my view. We can't find two actors over 60 to play a basketball coach? Come on guys, let's dig into this. Marky Mark needs our help.

He got game 2

These projects can 4, 5, 6 years to make to the screen. Hope it's quicker.

Get me Jack Nicholson or Martin Sheen! A little reunion from The Departed!

 

[Palatine]

I got your Calhoun right here.

 

[storrsroars]

Yeah, Dennehy is way too old for a mid-90s JC.

My vote for a guy who looks somewhat like Calhoun and has just as incoherent a Boston accent:

Lenny Clarke.

 

[UConnNick]

The answer is obvious:



I've always thought Gene's character in the movie was Calhoun to a tee. JC could have been the script consultant. As for age, they can make anybody look 20 years older or younger in Hollywood.

 

[storrsroars]

This guy? Seriously?

That looks like a still from, "Popeye: The Golden Years".

My early favorite for lead role: Michael B. Jordan

Exactly who came to my mind too. He might have a schedule conflict, he's set to play Bryan Stevenson in the film adaptation of Just Mercy, which also just got optioned to be made into a movie.

Even if it sucks I'm already lovin it and will see it multiple times on the big screen, DVD, and when it shows on TV.
