Bates Motel: 10 Actresses Who Should Play Marion Crane

2. Taylor Swift

If Marion were to visit Oregon and a place as famous for its taxidermy as for its tea-making facilities, she would probably make a big splash (and that's not a shower reference!). Producer Carlton Cuse and company may look to Crane's arrival as a good note on which to end the Bates Motel story. To make as big an impact as they could, a bit of stunt casting might be employed in that regard. Taylor Swift is instantly recognizable across the globe as a singer, but she's also been taking the odd gig as an actress over the past few years. She built her reputation on love songs, though has started releasing edgier fare of late, such as Bad Blood. A stint as Marion might be just the opportunity she's after to do something different! For those doubting her credentials, Swift created a strong impression alongside Zooey Deschanel in New Girl. Think she's too much on the lighter side? Well she also got welcomed into the blood-soaked fold of the CSI small screen juggernaut with open arms.
