What If? HART OF DIXIE's Cress Williams Shows Us His Take On A Scene From GREEN LANTERN

As a part of The Hollywood Reporter's new web series (which sees actors recreating scenes from movies which they wish they had gotten a role in), Cress Williams shows off his take on a big scene from 2011's Green Lantern. Would he make a good John Stewart?

Powerful stuff, eh? While he may have been recreating a scene as Hal Jordan, Williams' reciting of the Green Lantern oath seems to be proof enough that he would make for an awesome John Stewart! This "audition" is the latest instalment in a new web series from The Hollywood Reporter in which they give TV stars the opportunity to try out for the big screen roles they wish they had gotten. A future instalment will apparently feature the recreation of a scene from The Dark Knight...

If they ever choose to reboot Green Lantern for the Justice League movie, II really hope they go with him.

Gusto was there as well but things turned awkward when he removed everthing but his robe and mask:

You who are wicked, evil and mean,

I'm the nastiest creep you've ever seen!

Come one, come all, put up a fight

I'll pound your arse with Green Lantern's light!

DC should reboot GL with Hal, and then make a GL Corps film with John & Guy at the helm. Just like the current run in the comics I still think you have to have Hal in JL.

I care more to see things like SINESTRO WAR and BLACKEST NIGHT than which Green Lantern is shown.

Just do another movie!

Agreed awkward. Ex-cape my sight. John Stewart would never mis-pronounce the oath. Fail

I just spit my tasty lunch beverage all over my desk .. reading Gusto's take on the Lantern's Oath. I would pay good money to see Gusto's take on Green Lantern.

He has an awesome voice, it's deep and heroic just like the John Stewart from the animated series and what I would imagine the comic counterpart to sound like. He looks the part as well, why did they cut his cameo? Pssht!

I dont mean to sound racist, but the one true Green Lantern is NOT a "brother", he's WHITE and his name is Hal Jordan. PERIOD.
