Ryan McPartlin Thinks Playing Captain America Would be 'Very Cool'

My number one candidate for Captain America, Ryan McPartlin, finally speaks about the opportunity to play the Star Spangled Avenger. IT seems like he may even have seen his name thrown around on CBM!

Ryan McPartlin,and playing Captain America. I'm just displaying my favorite part of the interview, talking about Captain America.
Chuck's Captain Awesome has tossed his name into contention for the role of Captain America. Here is an excerpt from an interview released today:

Interviewer: Zach told me that he was cast in Thor at one point. Are we going to see you in a comic book movie soon? Maybe even as Captain America? You look the part.

Ryan:Yeah, you know, there’s some Internet buzz out there that I’d be a good Captain America, and I’m not going to try and tell them I wouldn’t want to play that role. That would be very cool. My agents are keeping their ear to the pavement waiting to see what happens. And the other thing is, who knows if they’ll go with an unknown again. They may try to capitalize on a really big name. I’d love for them to get somebody like me, a little more obscure that the audience and our geeks would love to push for. We need to put some more buzz out there. I’m going to be starting a website for myself. I’ll put it under somebody else’s name: “Captain Fantastic”! I went out for Superman Returns, and when Brandon Routh came and did the show, I’m like, “You bastard. You stole my part!” But who knows if I would have played Captain Awesome if I would have gotten the Superman role? Every role I let take care of itself, and I wouldn’t want to miss this for the world.

MarvelFreshman: If Marvel decides to go the unknown route, I really want this guy behind the mask.

Great find. I find it interesting that more and more actors are gathering information from internet sites like this one.

I guess this guy would work.

I rather them go with a less known than Ackels.

Though my favorite picks are DiCaprio and Damon i would rather them go with an unknown.

I think he would fit for captain america but i still think theres someone out there better than him for the job

He doesn't strike me as a serious actor. I can't picture this guy leading soldiers into battle or for that matter, any of the Avengers

He looks the part, but the dude is not the best actor. He needs some work.

Call me crazy, but I'd rather have someone who can really act that someone who looks the part. They can do wonders with make-up and effects now days to make just about any look a certain way.

I like the guy, I really do...

...but they need to get a more credible actor to play Cap.

I would go with Matt Damon.

Wadey09 - 1/8/2010, 7:06 PM
i'm just gonna wait and find out to see who gonna play Cap.
there are too many good/bad choices for this role and i can't pick one!
despite the fact that i originally picked Trevor Donovan!
i think i'd prefer McPartlin!

No.

I like the guy on Chuck, he's funny, but he doesn't have the chops for Cap. I can't see him convincingly leading RDJ and the others.

And he looks too young to me.

Damon be my choice :)

Mark Valley or Joel Gretsch are my top picks right now (Who cares if theyre too old, Valley is gonna be in Human Target, and Gretsch is in V, which looks like it is gonna get real good when it comes back.) Plus, they look identical!

Heres Valley

Heres Gretsch


Either one could pull off this

Great points MPP. I'd love to see Valley get the role. I think he'd be great. My next choice is Damon. Everyone else just seems lame and incapable of playing the part.

InTylerWeTrust - 1/8/2010, 8:00 PM
Valley, IMO, is just a bit too old, and I really don't think he's Cap-level. He's a pretty good actor, certainly not bad, but just not that Cap-caliber to me.

I wouldn't be really upset if he was cast, but I think there are definitely better choices.

He can play Steve Rogers when he is the skinny sick kid. Before he becomes Captain America. lmao.

@ Darth It would be cool if they at least announced who will play the villains or something jeeeeez. I'm tired of seeing these articles about Captain America and nothing new.

@ Torched4, I like Joel Gretsch, he really looks the part. That's a good choice. I would pick him.

kitboy33 - 1/8/2010, 8:34 PM
Mark Valley, does look the part but is too old IMO. Cap needs to be in between Thor's age and Ironman's.

I'm hoping the image I'm linking uploads..never done it before. But..here is someone I haven't seen mentioned before. Most people know what he looks like on the show, but he does have the build(or can get closer to it)..and looks pretty damn good "cleaned up".

Edit: Ok..link didn't upload..but ya can see it here.

It's still going to be a month or two probably. Just know that I truly do feel your pain.

Timerider84 - 1/8/2010, 8:44 PM
@ Torched4, I did like Joel Gretsch, but I didn't realize he was 47 years old. Marvel, will be getting someone in their early 30's or younger.
kitboy33
kitboy33 - 1/8/2010, 8:44 PM
@MPP..yea, I hear ya. I was just throwing another name out there. He may be close to the same age but ya gotta give me that he looks alot younger than Valley?! :-)
DogsOfWar
DogsOfWar - 1/8/2010, 9:25 PM
Valley is too old unfortunately. We also need to look at this from a 3-4 movie deal for solo & Avengers movies which means 10+ years. I like Damon but that would put him pushing 50 if we have multiple sequels (which we want, right?)

Stults, Kwanten, Lewis or even Ackles for the long haul.

kitboy: But why would Green Arrow play Captain America? ;)

Upupandaway - 1/8/2010, 9:47 PM
This should be solved in the Thunderdome or Marvel should build a cyborg. I like Damon but get the logic about his age and a multi-picture deal.

Hugh Laurie for Hank Pym.

Wow,who even thought to approach this guy? I'm not saying he's a bad pick, or a good one, but man...that guy from Chuck as Cap? And people talk about not being able to separate Damon from previous roles.

I like Valley, but look at the lines in his forehead. He looks too old for the part. The photo of McPartlin in the article isn't the most flattering photo of him. I think he definitely looks the part. Acting chops...he plays his role pretty well in Chuck and we have to keep in mind that his role in that show isn't playing the most intelligent guy, so keep that in mind. I don't get the "too young" comments about him. Cap was 24 when he took the serum. McPartlin is 34, but looks younger, which in this case is good. He definitely doesn't look younger than 24.

Layperson, the average person in America has no clue who McPartlin is. Everyone knows who Damon is and associate him with a number of roles. No regurgitated actors for Cap, please. We need to see someone who isn't mainstream. Not saying McPartlin is the person, but someone like him who has acted some on TV or the big screen and can really make a name for themselves by becoming the Captain America for a few movie deal. LIke Toby Macguire did for the Spiderman character. No one really knew who he was prior to Spiderman and I think it has worked out well that way.
