Casting for the HBs

[Jokerette]

how bout james marsden for frank?

i love the Ubs...but i don't like that they Franks soo nerdy. he should get his cool on!

[MacGyver]

From Cyclops to Richard White to Frank Hardy... yeah, I could maybe see that.   But he is 37 now, so this would be fitting for a Hardy Men movie more than The Hardy Boys....
Who would be cast as Joe though?

[hardygirl847]

He's 37? WHAT?! Wow...I don't know who would make a good Joe to his Frank. I'm quite picky because I have a certain picture in my head. I'm sure we are all kind of like that...which makes it even more difficult to pick someone everyone would agree to!

[Jokerette]

yeah, i know. i was just throwing that out there. i'll have to do some researching on a Joe though.

It might be fun to get Shaun Cassidy or Parker Stevenson to play Fenton Hardy in a Hardy Boys or Hardy Men movie.

[hardygirl847]

That would be HILARIOUS! I think Parker would be better because Frank is supposed to look like Fenton and well he played Frank. Plus, he would be an older version of Frank nowadays...which would make sense for Fenton. I think it would work better if it was a HB movie, and not Hardy Men movie. I don't think either one would make sense as Tom Cruise or Ben Stiller's dad.

Well considering that Parker Stevenson is nearly 60, it would make more sense for him to be Fenton Hardy in a Hardy Men movie.

Only a couple of off-topic notes I see that on October 31, 2010 Parker Stevenson is going to be starring in McTaggart's Fortune along with another Hardy Boys Nancy Drew Mysteries alumni, Pamela Sue Martin. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1197625/)

Parker Stevenson is also scheduled to appear in an episode of Legends of the Seeker entitled Bound on March 20, 2010. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1587561/).

MY Parker is going to be 60?!  Still not sure he would be good for Tom or Ben...even if he is older. Tom is going to be 48 and Ben is going to be 45. I don't think Fenton had Frank and Joe at 12 or 15. 

I still think of him as Frank Hardy or in Baywatch.

Thanks for the heads up on where he will be appearing next. It's not the same to me to see him now but I might check those out. I didn't grow up watching him as Frank so it's still new to me.

Parker Stevenson would make a cool Fenton Hardy, I agree.

[MacGyver]

Parker Stevenson's actually going to be 58 this year, by the way.
And I think it would be hilarious and awesome having him as Fenton Hardy. Of course, if you're going to have him in there, you'd have to find a cameo for Shaun Cassidy somewhere. Maybe he could work as Sam Radley or Jack Wayne?

...or Fenton's long lost brother who was alluded to in Super Sleuths!.

[MacGyver]

Ha ha- nice. Which story was that?

[hardygirl847]

Gotta love the long lost family members that some how manifest now and then!

Parker would do Fenton justice. Maybe it would work better if Frank and Joe were in their twenties.

Ha ha- nice. Which story was that?

"The Secret of Mountaintop Inn".

[MacGyver]

Ah- thanks.
