Oh please Holden. You so cray-zay!
Hipster doofus
I can't really think of anyone that can pull off the nerdy but cool look as well...

Michael Richards comes close though...
Lol. Go through the thread. I actually think it appears once or twice....

Who do you think would have been even more ideal?
Anyways...
Well, I'm hesitant to declare such things. You never know...I imagine there's an actor or two on this planet who could've done better. But, for all reasonable purposes, I'd say he was ideal. And yeah, that shower line was good -- makes me think of the highlight/lowlight up/down thread tab thingy.
Indeed.
Right on.
Exactly.

Same with Verbal Kint too. He makes them his own, does Kev.
Yup..

It's hard to even picture anyone else playing Lester.
Not only that. The pathetic loser turned dynamo. It's just Spacey. Lester Burnham IS Spacey. No one else could have paid him. Vocally, especially, the dry wit of Lester is pure Spcey. No one else could have done it so well.
YES!! Who can pull off the "jerking off in the shower, this will be the highlight of my day, it's downhill from here"
That film IS Spacey. It's nothing WITHOUT Spacey. It looks nice, rich colors and has a great score. However, it's nothing, and would be pitifully boring without Spacey playing Lester.
