Ah,so there IS a thread about this! Time for my assessment then
1.It's true than Keanu Reeves has never played any role besides the dark type, but hey, Jimmy Carrey had been a comedy man and still pulled a 23 pretty well. Thing is, Spike's hair is totally different (thank god there are capable stylists to fix that) and Spike is a bit more white, with different cheeks, and wears blue, and I've never seen mister Reeves in anything than black.
I'm not too worried about Jet, there are many actors who would fit the role well.I agree with Faye been from Singapore, but what about Ed? Is there anyone capable of performing such a role on this planet?:O
