The new Paul Walker


He's the same age, looks like him, would fit in with the f&f cast. Any thoughts?

I thought the same thing when I watched 2 Guns, but it would just be awkward to add a new actor as a replacement for Paul Walker.

Actually, they are considering him and Rupert Friend as some possible replacements for Paul Walker. Just read this today:

Choose between Rupert Friend or James Marsden......give it to James

reply

They actually already offered it to James to play the lead role in Best of Me and Rupert was considered for Paul's other film Agent 47. They said there are still some negotiations going on. Best of Me is from the same ones who did The Notebook. I am excited for James and I think he will do great. He has a few other films coming out this year where he will have leading roles. He deserves it, hes a great actor and under appreciated. maybe this year will be his year with bigger roles.

We can only hope. His career and "visibility" have been going in fits and starts, and he's much much too talented for all that.
