I thought Jake was blonde, so I imagined Bradley Cooper or Ryan Gosling.

For Sadie, maybe Charlize Theron.

I couldn't put this book down, I found myself visualizing

Josh Holloway as George / Jake (I too thought of him as blonde).
Kristen Johnson as Sadie
Clint Eastwood as Deke
Allison Janney / Meryl Streep as Miz Mimi

Gary... like your suggestions... Maybe Katherine Heigl as Sadie - to go alongside Matt Boomer? Their height - which is mentioned repeatedly - works out as well; he's 5'11" - she's 5'9"...

I like John Cusack or Paul Rudd for Jake and Katherine Heigl for Sadie.

Oh, and Greg Kinnear for JFK. I thought that was great casting in "The Kennedys."

I personally think this whole thing would've worked better as a miniseries. I have no idea who should play who as I am bad at picking actors at the top of my head.

I envisioned Jim Caviezel (I adore him) as Jake & Cameron Diaz as Sadie.

For some weird reason, I kept seeing Colin Hanks as Jake ( I was watching Dexter S06 at the time). He has that school teacher look, but I don't know if he could pull it off.

For the coach : Dean Norris (breaking bad)

I like Brian Cox for Deke!

Oswald would be one of the hardest to cast, because everyone knows what he looks like.

I think Michael C. Hall (fROM DEXTER) Would fit in perfectly with this charachter

I can't imagine another actress to play Sadie that a very old one, Anita Ekberg http://cache2.allpostersimages.com/p/...

She was tall, she was blond, she was inncredible gourgeous (She's still alive, but she doesn't look pretty anymore). When I was reading the novel, Anita Ekberg was my model for Sadie.

I can't imagina any actual actress playing that role. Maybe Charlize Theron, but she is skynny, or Michelle Williams, but she's petite.

Jake Epping / George Ambers..."

Your casting is fantastic! Exactly what I pictured!

Greta Gerwig as Sadie. (Charlize Theron is TOO beautiful).
Already said Ryan Gosling for Jake but I also like the idea of Paul Rudd
Sissy Spack for Mizz Mimi
Tommy Lee Jones for Deke
Tim Roth would have made a great Oswald but he's too old. I'd cast an unknown.
Greg Kinnear and Katie Hokmes for the Kennedy's (they were both good in the mini series)

I always pictured Jake Epping as John Krasinski. He has the height, and he's attractive, but not distractingly so. I'd like to see Amber Heard as Sadie.

Al - Gary Oldman

I Agree with jim C, Through out the book, I couldn't picture anyone else, only jim caviezel and no body else, his cold persona matches the non crying jake epping at the beginning of the book...
Laurie Holden as Sadie, She's a blond for sure.
the guy in JFK movie 1991 has done a pretty good owsald i think

John Cusak as Jake

Craig T. Nelson as Deke

Scarlett Johansson as Sadie

Tobey Maguire as Oswald
