View Full Version : the best actor to play Jacob

I wanted to start a thread where maybe we could get some ideas of who the best actor or actress to portray Jacob would be, this is assuming that Jacob is a real person. I would love to see Steve Bushemi. He can play any role in any movie, why not Jacob.

I've said for a looong time that HIM should be SK and we only see him in the last ever ep, but I'll take Hal 9000 too.

It'd be perfect for a one episode deal with SK, I think he can act a couple of good scenes with the right director. Plus, SK is a big fan of the show and TPTB are big fans of his writing it would be perfect. And I think in a show riddled with literary references that it make sense for an actual writer to pop up. Okay, maybe not if Jacob is going to be a big time recurring character, but I still think an SK appearance would be the coolest thing in the world.

That would confirm my suspision that Lost is set in the Dark Tower universe. In that story, the characters actually visited SK and told him to keep writing otherwise they would cease to exist. And there was a portal run by old machines guarded by a robotic bear, another of the portals is said to be guarded by a "dog"... Cerberus? ;) And in Dark Tower, events/characters from existing books appeared... Henry Gale : Wizard of Oz, anyone?

ANYWAY... Alan Rickman, Steve Buschemi, Peter Stormare... someone disarming but ominous, like Emerson.

There's the link, Ferrel's character doesn't appear until 06:14, but it's worth it.

In all seriousness I'd like to see Christopher Ecclestone (Doctor Who, Shallow Grave) play Jacob, he can be creepy and otherworldy yet profound and very real.

Jacob seems to be the person that Ben claims to be working for/with. He(/she) is the leader of the Others. Ben is more of a VP.

I like the idea of Stephen King as Jacob but only in a one episode type of way. If it is more of a recurring role, I would like to see someone like Ron Rifkin. Evil.

Ian McKellan would be a little odd in the role.

Christopher Lee would be amazing, he was excellent as Scaramanga, Count Dooku and Saruman so this could be the next in his line of awesome villains.

I think Dr. Cox from Scrubs would be great.

"Ben, i re-he-heally don't have time for this, so why don't i just go ahead and tell julliet her lame-ass book club will have to wait till i actually want to die, because between you and me, it really, really, really doesn't mean jack to me" *Turns to Cindy, "Newbie, come!"

Dr Cox would be awesome

Eh... I'm kinda hoping it's not someone with a famous face. I don't want to be distracted by a big time actor. It will be too much of a "guest star" thing rather than an addition to the cast.

But, if I had to go with someone famous... then David Carradine.

He also played the conniving prince in One Night with the King.


Or, going with the monotone beady eyed twirp motif (Ben) how about the guy who plays "Tom" in 24? Probably not old enough. Or the guy who played Jack's brother in 24?

Yeah Walken could dial in the crazy. And he would channel Dr. Christian Shephard a little too.

But haven't we seen him do that enough times?

I think "Jacob" is ben's decent alter ego, whom ben keeps trapped in dark room surrounded by an electric fence so he can rule the island with nuts of steel.

Sometimes i think it could be Kirk (Shatner) but that would be too easy.

Maybe the dad from that 70's show? If Terry O Quinn was not already taken i would have said Terry O Quinn!!!!!!

Mark Pellegrino

Rita's abusive and manipulative husband and father of Astor and Cody,[8] who was imprisoned for nearly beating Rita to death. After his release, he tries to rekindle a relationship with his children. Paul (correctly) suspects Dexter of framing him for the drug charge that sent him to his latest stint in jail.[6] After a short while in a federal prison, he loses hope after failing to convince Rita of Dexter's plan to frame him. Rita later tells Dexter that he provoked a fight shortly thereafter with another inmate, who beat him to death with a pipe.
