6. Danny Huston As Andrew Sarris
Born to Greek parents, Sarris grew up in Queens, New York and began his career as film critic for The Village Voice in 1960 with his review for Hitchcock's Psycho. He also lived in Paris where he became buddies with a couple of guys you may have heard of, Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut, and wrote the infamous essay "Notes on the Auteur Theory" which revolutionized the approach to film theory in the States and made the term popular in the west. As far as film art in the States go, there's no denying that Sarris was a monumental shifter of ideas and theories, so what better way to commemorate his memory than have him personified on film? Danny Huston, your underrated acting prowess, and your eyebrows, are needed. Danny Huston, younger half-brother of more popular older half-sister Angelica, has rarely gotten the chance to extend his full acting range on film because more often than not he's delegated to supporting roles like the young William Stryker in X:Men Origins. But that awful Magic City TV show was made watchable thanks to Huston's delectable villain Ben Diamond and he was absolutely fantastic as the conflicted lead Max Stoller in the relatively unknown Playoff (2011). Add all of these reasons to the fact that his physical appearance would only need a couple of dabs of make-up to portray Sarris and you got yourself a perfect candidate for one of 20th century's film writing legends.
