I'm gonna go with my stomach and say Ray Winstone.

A cockney Shepard with an Earth-Born background and sole survivor.


And plus can't you just hear his voice say "I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favourite store on the Citadel......Apples and pears."

I'd say Karl Urban would be good.

His more well known roles are Eomer in Lord of the Rings and Bones in the new Star Trek, but the movie where he really looks like a Shepherd character is the last Bourne movie. He was the other "agent" that was trying to kill Matt Damon.

It's hard because Bones does NOT look like shepherd, but then combine him with how different the other roles he plays are and you can see he can act and with the hair cut short, he has the look.

I see what you mean. I think he could be a very good Shepard, I loved him as Bones, and in the Borne movies he had this intense assassin vibe going on.

Thinking about it more I'd say Adam Baldwin. I think he could do the balance between Paragon and Renegeade Shepard. He kinda did that sort of thing as Jane Cobb in Firefly.

If they actually make the Mass Effect movie about Shepard, that will be a really stupid move. The biggest thing about Shepard is that his choices are made by you, and his background is your choice.

Why not make the movie about something else? There are tons of other things to explore.

Personally I do not care who plays Shepard in the movie, to me Commander Shepard is will always be a Ruthless Earthborn Renegade. Even though they never say where he is born I cannot help but think he is Canadian, born in Edmonton. Because well, it is a Canadian game made in Edmonton and far too many Canadian games have an American as the main character. I am keeping my Shepard Canadian.

Matthew Fox definitely looks the part. I even named my Shepard Jack in reference to the character!

They would probably get Sam Worthington for the role.
Hell yes to Sam Worthington. (He's got the right shaped head/face - and a similar build to Shepard)

As a second I'd nominate that Channing Tatum fella, not as good an actor maybe but that's just my opinion.

How about this bloke? - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Martini

No to Christian Bale - he's a good actor but he seems to play exactly the same type of guy in every film now - the brooding badass coolguy stereotype. While watching Terminator: Salvation I thought at one point he was gonna chuck on the ol' Batsuit and goto work.

christian bale would just do his stupid clint eastwood voice like in batman.

I'd go for Robert Downey Jnr. but he's a bit too old now, instead I'll go for the guy from avatar. Sam Worthington?
Maybe the guy from Spartacus could pull it off?

Andy Whitfield:
those aren't bad suggestions. not one bit.

id have it those, or if fem shepherd please have it as kate beckinsale =]]]]

No one because then it would ruin the movie because the point of Mass Effect is creating your own character that is why the books never focus on Shepard.

Now for Commander Stand-in I choose Samuel L Jackson, or Lester Speight, or Will Smith or that black guy from The Expendables, I find those guys hilarious.

It would be cool though if during the movie they have a panel where the majority audience gets to pick a path.

Either Christian Bale for a darker edged Shephard or Nathan Fillion for a lighter one.
May I direct you to Nathan Fillion kicking a man through an engine? That's a Renegade action of I've ever seen one.
Most of those QTE renegade actions seemed perfectly reasonable. Indeed, since there were few moments in the game where you could choose either a paragon route or a renegade route, I generally took the renegade option. They often simply made sense given the circumstances. Even if you want to play a boyscout, it makes more sense to foil an ambush than fight your way through it, and given I was going to just shoot everyone anyhow why not set a few of them on fire to make it easier? I mean, it wasn't like there was a polite solution to either problem.

Best.............. idea.................................... EVER!!
He's fighting zombies and an ancient evil that only seeks to destroy all life, it just seemed appropriate. Just give him the boomstick line. We needs it.

My ideas:

Andy Whitfield (played Spartacus, i think he did a good job)

Keanu Reeves (because he just popped into my head)

Rudy Reyes (former marine who played himself in Generation Kill)

just a few thoughts
