It would take a talented younger(ish) actor to portray Max and Menna with the depth of your novel's depiction.<br /><br />I saw Jacob (Taylor Lautner) as I was reading Nick, but I don't know many Native American younger actors. <br /><br />Menna needs to be a young Claire Danes or Emma Stone (she has a way of changing her appearance) or maybe Jennifer Lawrence (the new Katniss and also capable of transformation). <br /><br />Max is harder. Grown up Max could be Ryan Gosling (need the depth of acting). Past Max, ugh! I can't think of an outstanding younger actor. How about Gordon Levitt.<br /><br />I think the ability to capture the raw emotions of Max & Menna is more important than the physcial similarities. Hair dye and contacts could fix that.<br /><br />Best of luck. I'd love to see it come to life. But I also know the books are always better, and your book is excellent!Tia Bachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18336780518125138789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016855771148413935.post-65738391512470258462011-07-03T13:49:17.548-07:002011-07-03T13:49:17.548-07:00This is a fun idea.

I can't think of any native american actors off the top of my head. How about Steve R. McQueen for Max?<br /><br />I love the book titles. tmilstein at gmail dot comTheresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016855771148413935.post-10904363698821844982011-07-03T13:23:04.699-07:002011-07-03T13:23:04.699-07:00This is so much fun!
