10 Actors Who Could Play Edward Snowden In Oliver Stone's Movie
9. Jesse Eisenberg
Since his impressive performance in Noah Baumbachs The Squid and the Whale, Jesse Eisenberg has largely been typecast as the arrogant and self-assured young intellectual, too smart for his own good. The qualities of arrogance and self-confidence have been refreshing to see in characters other than the alpha-male/jock so common in decades of American cinema, and the fact that hes so closely associated with intelligent characters could go a long way in selling Eisenberg as Snowden on the big screen. Hes a face every bit as familiar as Pauls, and his status as a household name is guaranteed to rise in two years when Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice sees him taking on the notorious role of Lex Luthor. His Oscar-nominated performance in The Social Network was exceptional, perfectly embodying the Mark Zuckerberg role that film needed, and his recent work on last years Now You See Me shows he hasnt missed a trick in the intervening years.
Movie / TV enthusiast with a DVD and Blu-ray collection bigger than I'd care to admit. If anyone is offering creative / furniture solutions to house them, I'm all ears.
