Especially if by now he has stopped raving and bulked up. I also would appreciate Eomer from Lord of the rings although so far his venture into vikingdom hasn't been pretty.

I am not big on the movie business but I know he was the main character in 2 of his movies. Maybe I am misunderstanding it. As far as Triple H playing the part.. I think he could do it. Triple H had a part in Blade Trinity and did great. Also the person who stated that wrestling is acting cause you play a role is correct. Wrestlers have to adapt to different roles. Yes it may not be the type of range that a regular would have but its still acting on a regular basis. Triple H has gone from a evil bad guy to a humorous good on tv. So I think he could do it.

I doubt he would be able to act his way out of a paper bag. I think that some minimum standard should be expected. HHH would take a film that already will have the burden of having a less recognizable character to sell and insure that it'll enjoy no more than B status. I think someone like Viggo Mortensen would be a better choice. Lord of the Rings and Thor have their similarities. HHH obviously looks the part but so what?

David Hyde Pierce. Whoever gets chosen, I hope the two alter ego actors work out something with the director so that certain motions or reactions (body language, if you will) are shared so that the audience sees that these two actors are playing the same being.

And the thing is, HHH can act. He really can. Watch any given night on RAW and he's playing a role. It's not one with a lot of range, but he plays it pretty darn well. And THE most important thing about Thor is his physicality, and HHH has that in spades. HHH is really the obvious choice. And the thing is, HHH can act. He really can.

Part of me thinks that the look of Thor is the most important thing. If he isn't totally towering over everyone else, its not really Thor. Plus, its not like Thor requires a llot of range. Yeah he has a formal way of speaking and an accent but when you get down to it he is a Viking and is that really that different from a wrestler?
