I don't think Reynold's can help it. He's probabaly serious and have been told, "what's with the stupid grin"?

ASSASSIN @ Damn that is bad news, quality actor but he's way to small for SIN plus he don't have the look and he's done already TWO DC characters!!!???

WATCHMEN & HUMAN TARGET!!

HUGO = SINESTRO!!

LEEE- I love the fact that Haley came back from a dead career and wish him nothing but success. That being said I don't think he's quite right for the role either, I like Hugo too.

About the contention that he's done two DC Role, consider the fact that they exist in separate universes.

I don't know his range. But I just looked up on IMDb, he was Kelly Leak on Bad News Bears! Haha! I think Hugo would be good, and so would Jason Isaacs.

Wow, this actually made the main page! I thought it was old news...still, it must be going by the fact the comment section is filled with hilarious grandma pics! Funny pics or boobs almost always means that something isnt new or interesting on this site, lol! :)
