Casting The Perfect Gears Of War Film
9. John Leguizamo As Dominic Santiago
Dominic Santiago is Marcus Fenix's right-hand man and best friend. Santiago is the one always by Fenix's side ready to help at any cost.
For many gamers and younger siblings, Gears of War was shown through Santiago's eyes. His loyal and often quippy personality in the earlier games is a stark contrast to his unrelenting drive to find his lost wife.
Marcus and Dom are at the very heart and soul of the franchise in one of gamings best bromances. To find Santiago's perfect casting, an actor needs to portray a truly loyal friend with a tortured heart of gold.
Enter John Leguizamo.
Not only was John Leguizamo John Wick's unwavering mechanic but he also has a dark side to him expressed in Spawn and Carlito's Way. Leguizamo also brings a much needed comedic wit to the character that often goes overlooked due to the Baird and Cole dynamic.
Leguizamo ticks all the boxes needed to bring the sincere second player to life.
