My new movie starring Leonardo Dicaprio, Will Smith,Jennifer Connelly,Cate Blanchett & Gwyneth Paltrow

I’m a self proclaimed dreamer. I love to just “think big” and imagine incredible possibilities. I constantly ask myself the question…what if?

I want to have some fun today with this article so what if as a filmmaker you could cast your top 5 favourite actors in one of your movies? Who would they be? Well…here are my TOP 5 choices:

1.Gwyneth Paltrow

Where do I start? I’ve had a crush on this women for the past 14 years, ever since I saw her in Se7en. Every time I think Paltrow is just another pretty face she surprises me with performances in movies like Shakespeare in Love,The Royal Tenenbaums,Shallow Hal and Proof. She’ll always be #1 on my wish list.

2.Leonardo Dicaprio

Dicaprio is without a doubt one of the most naturally talented actors I’ve ever watched. Dude never spent one day taking acting classes which is pretty impressive. Since 2004, Dicaprio has been giving some of the best acting performances in movies bar none. From The Aviator to Blood Diamond to The Departed, it would be an absolute joy to work with arguably the best actor in Hollywood over the past 5 years. Martin Scorsese is no fool.

3.Will Smith

Big Willie. I bet working with Will Smith would be a ball! Is there a bigger movie star on the planet then this guy? I respect Will Smith so much for his professionalism,his class and positive attitude. I’m sure this guy would have everyone onset laughing their heads off in between takes. Forget working with him, I would just love to meet him one day and pick his brain regarding stuff like marriage,raising kids and becoming a Hollywood superstar.

4. Cate Blanchett

Wow. Let me say her name again, Cate Blanchett. I don’t know where to begin. She’s a director’s dream. Tall,pretty, classy,extraordinary acting range. Let’s just marvel for a second at her great performances: Elizabeth, The Talented Mr.Ripley,The Lord of The Rings, The Aviator,Babel,I’m Not There and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button just to name a few. Blanchett is my generation’s Meryl Streep. I love this daydreaming stuff!

5. Jennifer Connelly

Connelly is not only every director’s dream…she’s every guy’s dream. She’s one of the most beautiful women in the world, she’s smart (she studied at Yale and Stanford) and she’s an incredibly talented actress. Let’s break it down: Requiem for a Dream,A Beautiful Mind,House of Sand and Fog,Blood Diamond. I remember first seeing Connelly in Career Opportunities back in ‘91. Wow! She’s come along way since those baby fat days.

Well,there you have it. My dream all-star cast.

I challenge you to sit down one day and think of your dream cast. Try it,it’ll be fun.
