10 Perfect Castings For Nathan Drake In Seth Gordon's Uncharted Adaptation

3. James Roday

We have another lesser-known actor here, but another that you will agree is worthy of playing Nathan Drake and capable of doing the treasure hunter justice. James Roday is most known for the hit television show Psych, where he plays a hoax psychic offering hot tips to the police and naturally solving every case he comes across. A lot of the usual factors come into play once again; James has the right sense of humor and personality, the look, and is actually age-appropriate. That isn€™t the only reason he is so high up on the list though. For whatever reason, the USA Network has canceled the show this year €“ it's currently in its eighth season €“ which really opens up the doors for James to get involved with something new. Looking back on past selections in this list, most entries have the common trait of either bordering on an age range that may be seen as too old, or are too bogged down with other projects to consider taking on another popular franchise. The ultimate point is that if Hollywood wants a guy with a free schedule and someone that can embody all the finer details of Drake, without paying an arm and a leg to a high profile celebrity, James Roday is their guy.
