10 Actors Who Could Play Edward Snowden In Oliver Stone's Movie

9. Jesse Eisenberg

Since his impressive performance in Noah Baumbach€™s 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 he€™s so closely associated with intelligent characters could go a long way in selling Eisenberg as Snowden on the big screen. He€™s a face every bit as familiar as Paul€™s, 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 year€™s Now You See Me shows he hasn€™t missed a trick in the intervening years.
