I think actor Cole Hauser looks just like Hamilton.
Same face and hair and seems like a big guy.
Way too old. He's what, 36? Most of the movie will take place w/ hamilton in his early 20's. Also, i dont think he has the chops for the role.

Hollywood has its ways of making people look young. It's no inconceivable Cole Hauser could do the job.
Yeah its just like my opinion man.
I also dont think he has the talent to pull off a character with that depth. I'd rather see a younger actor like Nicholas Hoult in the role.

What about the dude that plays Monroe in Revolution - David Lyons? Good actor, looks a little like JH.

It's quite a coincidence that you said Hoult (I think someone else did in this thread as well). Before this thread was even started, I thought he might be a good candidate. But he's British and I didn't think many people knew him (apparently I'm wrong). He's a great actor.
I haven't seen many roles that Hauser has done in drama, outside of Good Will Hunting, that he could pull of the Hamilton role, but he's got the looks and that helps A LOT (see Barry Pepper and *61 - Roger Maris). Unless the story is completely character driven (like Bang the Drum Slowly), you don't need a GREAT actor for a baseball movie (c'mon Kevin Costner has been in three of them!!!). If it's based off a true baseball player, looks is more important that top-notch acting skills.
At the same time, I have confidence in both Afflecks now, so I trust Casey will find a palatable Josh Hamilton.
Derr, just realized i reiterated you there. Ah well...

Regradless of the fact that I think it would be a good choice, Chris Hemsworth WILL be cast in this role, unless he dies before then and now.
He marginally looks like him, can act well enough, is the right build, the right amount of famous and cache, and stuidos are putting him in EVERYTHING.
So, 11 November, 2012; remember that I said Chris Hemsworth (possibly his brother Liam...)
