I was watching The Sting today and mid-way through the movie I got the impression that Robert Redford, who plays Hooker, is somewhat comparable to Brad Pitt. First it was the personality that hit me, and that's what I want this thread to be about. Not looks, but acting ability/credibility.

This and Spy Game are the only two movies I've seen with Redford in it. Surpsingly enough, Pitt was in Spy Game as well and I could see Redford playing his role when he was at that youth. In fact I could see him playing that roll in Ocean's Eleven as well. Fight Club would be something else, but I could imagine him pulling it off in Snatch and even Meet Joe Black

This being my first Paul Newman movie, I could also compare him to a George Clooney as well. There's something about the lead roll that Newman plays that ties in so well with Clooney's other movies such as Ocean's 11, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, and O Brother, Where ArtThou? (Wow! I barely remember this movie at all).

Anyways, this is just an example from The Sting

Now think of many of the older movies you've come across and try placing some of today's characters in with them. Do you think it would be a logical fit?

I believe Christian Bale would have played a fine Norman Bates in Pyscho

I'm a bit edgy as to saying that Bruce Willis would have played a great juror # 8 in 12 Angry Men
