for John Shea though!
Agreed. And I'm sure when he was first cast, a lot of people had doubts about him. I can imagine them saying, "He's too young. And he has *hair*, for goodness sake! He's too suave; no way he could play anyone as ruthless as Lex." And yet, in my mind -- and, I'd wager I'm not alone in this -- he's the definitive Lex.
And I won't even go into Dean Cain nearly being rejected as being too young for his dual role on the show. Or Henry Cavill being greeted with doubts by fans when his casting was first announced simply because he wasn't American.
I'm not saying Eisenberg will be good; I've never seen him act and have no idea whether his acting is decent or not. I'm just saying that if he is a good actor, then he has every possibility of carrying off the role well. Although there seem to be many things to dislike about the upcoming film, I wouldn't consider his casting to be one of them.
Joy,
Lynn
