Hal Jordan- Leonardo DiCaprio
DiCaprio has pretty much solidified himself as an excellent actor and bankable leading man. While he has a pretty-boy reputation, if you actually check out his filmography he has built his career playing confident, hot-headed, and/or anti-authoritarian type characters.
Runner Up: David Boreanaz- He loves the character and had progressed in leaps and bounds since Angel as seen on his new show, Bones.
John Stewart- Jamie Foxx
Over the last couple years, Jamie Foxx proved he was more than just a funny actor. He actually had some acting chops to hold his own in dramatic performances. His personality, charisma, and screen presence are so big I feel like he could add to a character that tends to be kind of bland.
Runner Up: Omar Epps- On House, he has shown he can play the stoic, over serious type but still likeable as well as mediating clashes of people with big personalities like say Guy vs Hal
Guy Gardner- Jeremy Renner
Jeremy Renner gave one of my favorite performances last year in The Hurt Locker, where his character had so many similarities to Guy. He does the likeable asshole thing really well. He's a rising star but not a super star so he could come relatively cheap, which is always a big perk.
Runner Up: Bradley Cooper- Another likeable asshole guy, but he seems to come from more comedy roots. He was far superior an actor than Midnight Meat Train deserved and performed better than I thought he could so I could reallysee him getting into the role.
Kyle Rayner- Chris PineChris Pine has laid the foundation of his career with naive nice guys in romantic comedies. Now that he is in Star Trek he'll be showing off a more serious side and more action-oriented side to his acting repetoire.
Runner Up: Justin Chatwin- Not a choice I am 100% for but I think he has a lot of potential, more potential than the god awful Dragonball movie would allow him to showcase, but mostly I didnt want to suggest Milo Ventimiglia, who seems to have convinced most forum fanboys, since he annoys me so.
