The Crucible: Character Cast

These are the characters of the story "The Crucible" and the actors I think should play them.

REVEREND SAMUEL PARRIS :   I decided to play Harrison Ford.  When I think of a reverend I think of someone older and thought that Harrison Ford could really work for this type of character.  I have seen him play characters like Samuel Parris.



TITUBA :  For Tituba I chose Whoop i Goldberg.  I think she could easily play a slave and I think she could play someone like Tituba, a crazy spell caster at times then innocent at other times.




ABIGAIL "Abby" WILLIAMS :  To play Abigail Williams I would cast Jennifer Lawrence.  Abby is supposed to be very mischievous and a very pretty girl.  I think that Jennifer could easily pull this character off.



THOMAS PUTNAM :  For Thomas Putnam I would cast Alec Baldwin.  Putnam is described as wealthy and I think is a little stubborn.  I think Alec Would make an excellent Mr. Putnam.




Goody ANN PUTNAM :  To play Ann Putnam I would cast Courteney Cox.  In the story she is supposed to have had seven kids and all of them die. So she would obviously always be on edge, and I think that Courteney Cox could show this type of character.





JOHN PROCTER :  I think Daniel Craig would make an excellent John Proctor.  Daniel Craig has played rugged characters before like in Cowboys & Aliens.  In that movie he plays a outlaw, so I think he could easily play a farmer.


Goody ELIZABETH PROCTOR :  For Elizabeth Proctor I would cast Sandra Bullock.  In the story she doesn't trust John Proctor very much and is always fighting with him and I think that Sandra Bullock would be good at playing this character.


MARY WARREN :  I think that Ellen Page would play Mary Warren very well.  She is supposed to be a good looking girl and is very stuck up when she becomes one of the judge officials



Goody REBECCA NURSE :  I think Betty White Should Play Rebecca Nurse, because she is one of the few older ladies still in the movie industry.  Also in the movie she is described as being very kind and nice, and I think Betty White could play that kind of person.




REVEREND JOHN HALE : I decided to cast Liam Neeson for the part of John Hale.  When I thought of John Hale I thought of someone older and wiser.  I think Liam Neeson would play him perfectly.
