Viggo Mortensen
Minus the scar he would be a perfect Gman.
 
No, Viggo looks too young for such a role. I'm thinking something more along the lines of Christopher Walken.

i think this and the "breen cast" thread has been done a thousand times :dozey:
 
Actually I'm now slightly in favour of Viggo, I don't really think the G-man necessarily needs to be that old.
 
Just think of his voice. Perfect Gman. btw Just because they model on someone doesn't mean that person can act. Eli was modeled after a homeless dude.
 
We've been through this before, so many times it's unbelievable, Zombine... there are possibly so many threads on it, already that someone's made a jumper!

Dude, there are probably hundreds of people in the world who could play as the Gman for one reason or another, but no-one will looks as close to the Gman as the person modelled off him.

Christopher Walken, if you're going to look for an actual actor, is the creepiest guy in the cinematic world, and any argument you might have is probably wrong.
 
I'm thinking Mr. Smith from the Matrix.
Cause when I first him in the movie first thing i said was: "hey its the gman".
Face is different but acting is the same.
 
The voice is more important than the looks as far as I'm concerned.
 
I never considered Viggo. But after seeing Eastern Promises, I could see him possibly in the role. He'd need to look a bit more aged, and the main thing is getting that voice right.
 
Viggo Mumbleson wouldn't be the best, and I wouldn't have walken do it unless you wanted him to sound like he's from new york... Though I can't think of anyone atm. :|

I thought I'd give you some reference to base your wild and absurd claims on.
 
I like the first one, he looks really evil, is that a real photo or is it taken out a Bond film?
 
I've got one to top it all, Bill Nighy, I can't believe he hasen't been mentioned yet. Played Davey Jones in Pirates of the Carrabean, and was in Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, and was the stepfather in shaun of the dead.

His facial structure is perfect for the Gman, plus he's a good actor.

Why not get his actual model? Maybe he can act, too.

As I recall, it said in Raising the Bar that the G-man's face was compressed to be less wide than the reference model's. And Gordon was a composite, though they still haven't released his model.

He looks right but can he do the voice right.

Bill Nighy would definitely be an awesome G-man. His voice is extremely versatile, and he's done the "subtely menacing" thing very well in the past.

No Christopher Walken. His looks are almost there, but not quite, but his voice and mannerisms are always the same, and not what is needed in the G-man. Walken would be better as a new scientist.

Viggo looks surprisingly good for the G-man in that pic. I wouldn't have thought of him. He tends to bring a paternal feel to his roles, which might get in the way of the G-man character but might also give it an appropriately disturbing undercurrent.
 
Bill Nighy ftw
can't believe I didn't think of him.
He's awesome in Underworld and POTC2&3.

They have released his "models". They provided some of the people that he was modelled off.
 
Indeed, much of G-Man's likeness and facial expressions are modeled off a person, as can be seen in RtB. It was modified though (thinning the face, etc).

Gordon is a composite of a bunch of different people. Can't remember if the book says or shows who, though.

Whether it's in Raising the Bar or not, it's still out there, somewhere :p

I've seen it!

Not really. The man they modelled him off is Frank Sheldon who came up with the Alexander Technique which was used as a reference point for Valve's facial animation system. Sheldon is far chubbier than the G-Man (that is to say, he doesn't look photophobic and malnourished) and so wouldn't be right either.

The main problem here is that a Half-Life movie would be rubbish. It would have to be incredibly clever for it not to end up like a big old pile of diseased scrotum.
It's also completely unnecessary. Why have a HL film when HL is so good already?
It's like the game! Except a more passive experience! Wooo!
 
Valve has already received several movie script from Hollywood, but they refused it because they all *sucked*.

I read this on the HL wiki page.

So I wouldn't worry about it. IF (and this is a big if) there is gonna be a HL movie, then that means the script must've impressed Valve so much, that it's going to be real good.

That's what padded cells and starvation is for. :|
 
G-man looks scary and serious.
This guy looks funny and deformed.
 
I think the bad guy from Terminator II would be better...
 
There's a movie named "Half-Life"? Released this year? It's going to fail.
 
As long as it's not made by Uwe Boll, it could always be worse.
