    I do not think he would make a good GT but he is a great actor.... He was good in Rescue Dawn as well.

    It could have been worse, he could've picked ryan reynolds, or Dane Cook.

    Wow, you're right! I think he would be perfect to play Guybrush. Daniel has to be one of my favorite characters from Lost, too.
    What about Charlie, though? Don't you think he'd make a good Guybrush?

    Nah, he's kinda old to play Guybrush, in particular MI2 Guybrush. Guybrush is probably 19 in MI 2 (when he is asked for his age for his library card, one of the possible answers is something along the lines of "Ni-... er, twenty-one.").

    Plus, Guybrush is blonde. :)

    No, he's not old enough. As I always suggest whenever live action actors are involved, I think Sean Connery would be perfect.

    Just imagine him saying "I'm Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate™!"

    I haven't actually seen Lost, so I don't know this guy, but on looks alone, the last picture makes him look a lot like TMI's Guybrush, to me. So yeah, I'd let that fly. Definitely not David Spade, MAYBE Justin Long, but... ergh. Overly wimpy Guybrush would be overly wimpy.

    Rodney dangerfield is dead, so he may be able to play Largos grandfather...wow that was bad.

    Simon Bird. He's one of the few appropriate choices I've seen because he has the witty quality as well as the idiot one.

    I really think Zach Braff, plus a bit of peroxide, would make an awesome Mighty Pirate™!

    YES to Zach Braff, I've thought for a while he'd make a great Guybrush

    Just kidding. He doesn't even deserve to be in Monkey Island.

    close but not right on the money...


    I still think Javier Bardem would be perfect as Chad from Bleach and young Jeff Goldblum would be perfect for Spike from Cowboy Bebop.

    I would say out of the choices Cary Elwes based on appearance [but still not perfect] with the personality of that kid from Arrested Development & Superbad.

    Hello no to Owen Wilson tho, sorry.

    Yeah if we HAD to have a "real-life" Guybrush, he's the only guy I would want to see do it. Played halfway between the Robin Hood character in Men In Tights and Westley in The Princess Bride (awesome awesome movie).
