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

3. Jonah Hill

Another actor typically relegated to Supporting Actor status, and already twice recognised by the Academy for his work, Jonah Hill is also guaranteed to ascend to Best Actorhood in the near future. It€™s just a question of when. Smart money says that it€™s going to be his reunion with Leonardo DiCaprio on telling the story of Richard Jewell, who was wrongly persecuted in a trial by media in connection with the bombing at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. But with Oliver Stone expecting to go into production on the Edward Snowden project before the end of the year, it could come even sooner than that. Breaking out in comedy roles like Superbad and Knocked Up, Hill proved himself in a huge way when he put in such a strong dramatic performance opposite Brad Pitt in Moneyball. The Wolf of Wall Street gave him yet another chance to shine in a high-profile, Oscar-bound project last year, and next year could well be the one that finally brings him front and centre. He has the talents, he has the experience, and he has the name and the credits that would get everyone talking in the run-up not just to release but also production, which is exactly what you want with a film like this. You want to spark debate so that people feel obligated to see it so they can form their own opinions, and you know Hill would rise to the occasion.
