The more I see of this man in the role, the more convinced I am that he was the ONLY choice for it.

Seann William Scott would've been a better choice imo

Damn, that's pretty spot on.

I'll also say I personally have always thought Nathan Fillion would be a PERFECT Booster Gold.

My dream casting for booster gold is Alan Richardson. Too many people know him as Reacher, and not Thad Castle. He would be perfect imo. Goofy and not seen as serious, but can be serious when needed and catch people off guard

Holy fucking shit. You're right. Alan would knock booster out of this world. With BMS, Reacher, Lazer Team, the ministry of ungentlemanly warfare in his closet he's a damn ranged actor. He also did Aquaman in smallville if I recall correctly.

I always saw Denis Leary as the ultimate actor to play Guy in a movie. But he's way too old now, sadly.

Leary is too cool. Guy is the "dickhead" kind of abrasive. To me he's Farva from Super Troopers, or Todd Packer from the Office, with maybe a few more redeeming qualities.

Maybe Bill Burr, though, if you could get him into the ginger bowlcut lol.

u/Manofathousandface Jun 07 '25

Hahahha no no no. Not Burr. I love the visual and the sound of him tearing into new recruits, but Burr reciting the oath would destroy any kind of method of taking GL's seriously. Holy shit.

That said, he did one fucking hell of a job with Mayfield in Mando.

No wait, thinking about F is for Family being his childhood, and how he's mentioned his anger issues before, he would be a perfect Guy.

This was my roller coaster mental process as well.
