Who should play the Eagles if they did a biopic?

[Freypower]

the topic I was listing wasn't "who could play them" but rather who do you think they sort of look like - kind of a gut reaction or who on the top of your head reminds you of each member

OK, with the greatest respect, how in the world does David Gilmour either in his younger days or especially now, remind you of Timothy B. Schmit, and how does Robin Williams remind you of Don Henley?

I still think Richard Armtiage could be a good choice for Don's 'intense' look . Has it suddenly got hot in here???...

Glenn- Billy Crudup (Russel In Almost Famous)
Felder Jason Stratham

Napoleon Dynamite as Randy?! OK, now I realize this is a wind up*.

There was some discussion earlier in this thread about John Heder as Bernie, and I can actually see that working if he drops the geekiness.

There were also some good suggestions for Randy - my personal favorite being Josh Hartnett. I posted these pictures earlier and remarked that he'd need to get some chest hair, but otherwise I think he could pull it off nicely ...

Hartnett has squinty eyes but would otherwise be fine - if he's decent at miming the bass/singing, which we don't know.

I can see Ashton Kutcher as Henley

You don't think Ashton is too goofy? To me (and a lot of people, judging by the general online comments), Henley seems intimidating. Ashton is an approachable puppy dog. Henley? Not so much.

I didn't see the Steve Jobs movie, so maybe Kutcher is able to act more than I'm giving him credit.

I finally finished my Eagles fancast and posted it on my Tumblr. I tried to find pictures of the guys and each actor I chose that looked similar. I went with actors that are in their 30s or late 20s so it would work for telling majority of the story. All the actors I chose too can sing (including some having Broadway experience) and majority are guitarists and have their own albums & songs out through their own bands, solo work, and/or film soundtracks. I also picked them because each one has played a character that reminded me of how the guys either came across to me or what I've read about them. Here's my choices:

Glenn - Colin O'Donoghue
Don - Jack O'Connell
Randy - Scott Porter
Bernie - T.J. Miller
Felder - Aaron Tveit
Joe - Scott Michael Foster
Timothy - Steven Strait

Hey, good call on Scott Porter, Buffy! He's a nice-lookin' fella and he's from Nebraska too
