Commander Shepard

[EchetusXe]

They would probably get Sam Worthington for the role.

Exactly what I thought. Not sure if that's a good thing or not, as I've not seen anything in which he was the lead.

Terminator Salvation, Avatar, Clash of the Titans.

He just plays a bog standard marine type with no real charisma or intelligence. He just looks like the box art character and can easily play a guy running around space shooting aliens.

 

[Mr Metzger]

Christian Bale, minus Batman voice
Gerald Butler, as he can only play bad-asses
Bruce Campbell, because I can

Definitely Bruce Campbell. The guy is a legend

jason statham he kinda looks like the default guy to me and he is a super bad ass btw how do u put a pic in the post? i thort id put a pik of him in hear then rememberd i didnt know how

 

[DaDrum]

i think adrien brody could pull off some kind of 'tough love' shepard, yeah

either him or gerard butler, or maybe sam worthington

Spoiler

I would love an English or Scottish Male Commander Shepard, all the American accents really took away from the experience thank god for the Hanar and Elcor. For the female Shepard I can only think of Angelina Jolie.

Jason Stratham just because it would be awesome to see him fight hand to hand combat with geth's and Turian's and all that shit

 

[fanklok]

Will Smith because I would find it hilarious.

 

[Mister Awesome]

heres what the role should be

shepard- samuel l jackson
miranda- scarlett johanason
joker- seth green of course
ED- mr. T

ok ok... i'm not being serious (except for joker)
i think shepard should be played by maybe christian bale

 

[Grey_Focks]

Someone said Bruce Campbell? They are correct.

FemShep? Angelina Jolie, because I can.

 

[Cmwissy]

I'm gonna go with my stomach and say Ray Winstone.

A cockney Shepard with an Earth-Born background and sole survivor.


And plus can't you just hear his voice say "I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favourite store on the Citadel......Apples and pears."

 

[Magnifiecnt_Bastard]

I agree about Max Martini. He's already got some of the training from being in The Unit.

 

[leviticusd]

I'd say Karl Urban would be good.

His more well known roles are Eomer in Lord of the Rings and Bones in the new Star Trek, but the movie where he really looks like a Shepherd character is the last Bourne movie. He was the other "agent" that was trying to kill Matt Damon.

It's hard because Bones does NOT look like shepherd, but then combine him with how different the other roles he plays are and you can see he can act and with the hair cut short, he has the look.

I see what you mean. I think he could be a very good Shepard, I loved him as Bones, and in the Borne movies he had this intense assassin vibe going on.

 

[Magnifiecnt_Bastard]

Thinking about it more I'd say Adam Baldwin. I think he could do the balance between Paragon and Renegeade Shepard. He kinda did that sort of thing as Jane Cobb in Firefly.

 

[WaywardHaymaker]

If they actually make the Mass Effect movie about Shepard, that will be a really stupid move. The biggest thing about Shepard is that his choices are made by you, and his background is your choice.

Why not make the movie about something else? There are tons of other things to explore.

 

[Saulkar]

Personally I do not care who plays Shepard in the movie, to me Commander Shepard is will always be a Ruthless Earthborn Renegade. Even though they never say where he is born I cannot help but think he is Canadian, born in Edmonton. Because well, it is a Canadian game made in Edmonton and far too many Canadian games have an American as the main character. I am keeping my Shepard Canadian.

 

[Woodsey]

Matthew Fox definitely looks the part. I even named my Shepard Jack in reference to the character!

sean connory FTW
or micheal caine

They would probably get Sam Worthington for the role.

Hell yes to Sam Worthington. (He's got the right shaped head/face - and a similar build to Shepard)

As a second I'd nominate that Channing Tatum fella, not as good an actor maybe but that's just my opinion.

How about this bloke? - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Martini

No to Christian Bale - he's a good actor but he seems to play exactly the same type of guy in every film now - the brooding badass coolguy stereotype. While watching Terminator: Salvation I thought at one point he was gonna chuck on the ol' Batsuit and goto work.

christian bale would just do his stupid clint eastwood voice like in batman.

I'd go for Robert Downey Jnr. but he's a bit too old now, instead I'll go for the guy from avatar. Sam Worthington?

Maybe the guy from Spartacus could pull it off?

Andy Whitfield:

those aren't bad suggestions. not one bit.

id have it those, or if fem shepherd please have it as kate beckinsale =]]]]

The movie should follow one of the books, not the games. No Shep.
