Actor’s name: Rachelle Lefevre Explanation: Based on her performance in the __Twilight__ series and shows like __How I Met Your Mother__ she is snobby, mean, and somewhat of a shrew. We feel she fits the part almost perfectly because she is able to bring life to her characters in any way she wants. As a bonus, she looks similar to Kate.
 * KATE **

Actor’s name: Jason Statham Explanation: Based on the performances in __The One__ and the __Transporter__ series, he can play a person who doesn't take any attitude from anyone. He has a strong personality in his movies and seems to be able to take a hit like Petruchio does with Kate. He can bring this character to life in a way others can't because he has experienced the feelings and attitudes used to play this part.
 * PETRUCHIO **

Actor’s name: Steven Seagal Explanation: Based on movies such as __Fire Down Below__, __Mercenary for Justice__, and __Marked for Death__, Seagal is a calm and quick acting person. This is just how Lucentio has to be when he comes up with the plan to win Bianca's love. He also must be this kind of person when he is dressed up. He must keep his cool and be able to think of things on the spot.
 * LUCENTIO **

Actor’s name: Ashley Greene Explanation: Based on her role in the __Twilight__ series and the tv show __Crossing Jordan__, she is a sweet and loving person like Bianca and everybody wants to win her heart. She knows how to play the role of a person who is nice and is adored by almost everyone. She would be able to play this part like no other.
 * BIANCA **

Actor’s name: Michael Gambon Explanation: In the __Taming of the Shrew__, Gremio plays an older man that tries to win Biancas love fairly, unlike his competitors. Michael Gambon plays as the well-known Dumbledore in the __Harry Potter__ series, and possesses many of the same characteristics and qualitites as Gremio, such as his age, the things he possesses, and his fair-playing style. Michael Gambon is the perfect actor for Dumbledore, and can pull off Gremio as well.
 * GREMIO **

Actor’s name: Nick Cannon Explanation: In __Drumline__, Nick Cannon has the attitude that he is better than everyone else, much like Hortensio thinks he can win Bianca's love. In the movie it turns out that he isnt a very good drummer. Hortensio is a similar character because he couldnt win Bianca's love when he was sure he could. Nick Cannon's role in the __Taming of a Shrew__ will be similar to that of the movies of his past.
 * HORTENSIO **

Actor’s name: Shia Labeouf Explanation: Shia Labeouf plays the main character in the movie __Tranformers__. The entire movie, he has to keep the transformers secret, which he did successfully. Tranio, in the __Taming of a Shrew__, played a character that had to keep secrets of who he was throughout the movie, much like Shia Labeouf in his movies. Shia was the right person for __Transformers__ and will have similar experiences in the moviemaking of the Taming of the Shrew.
 * TRANIO **

Actor’s name: Ian McKellen Explanation: Ian McKellen plays in a number of movies, including the __Lord of the Rings__ series. He plays as Gandalf, a wise wizard that is forced to make many decisions through the story. This is how Baptista is in the __Taming of the Shrew__. He had to make decisions like who was going to marry his daughters. Ian McKellen did a great job as Gandalf and will also make a good Baptista.
 * BAPTISTA **
