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

5. Anthony Mackie

Though Bill Condon€™s WikiLeaks project The Fifth Estate might not be long remembered, it did give Anthony Mackie the perfect experience in a political dramatic thriller, with Julian Assange being one of the few figures in recent years that can be even remotely compared to Edward Snowden. What€™s more, the experience on The Fifth Estate could give Mackie the edge in having a feeling for what went right there and what went wrong, and bringing that wisdom to Stone€™s project. The actor is one of the few African Americans in his 30s with whom most audiences are at least familiar (whether or not they could tell you his name), and a role like this could go a long way in showing young minorities that there are major roles out there for them. If Stone is colour-blind in his casting here, Mackie€™s name has to be on the list.
