7. James Badge Dale as Randy Orton
You do have to admit, James Badge Dale certainly looks the part to play Randy Orton. You may know him as friend of Matt Damon in The Departed, or even Will Travers in “Rubicon”. He’s a solid actor, but the question is can he pull off a role like Randy Orton?
Orton is notoriously wooden as a performer, but that’s kind of his thing. He’s cold, vicious, calculated and unpredictable. That’s what makes him The Viper. Dale would have to dial in the emotion for the right moments for when Orton is at most charismatic. Dale would be interesting to see as Randy Orton.
