Actor’s name: Angelina Jolie Explanation: Angelina Jolie is very fierce actress and plays invery intense roles. She's pretty and people admire her ability to be endearing. She starred in the move "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" with Brad Pitt. In this movie she played the role of his wife and they didn't get along with each other because she was very mean. This is exactly how Petruchio and Kate's relationship was in "The Taming of the Shrew." PETRUCHIO ** Actor’s name: Brad Pitt Explanation: He has starred in many popular movies and it seems like a lot of people like him. He would be an excellant actor for this role because Angelina and him have a great relationship on and off the screen, considering they are married in real life. "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is a great example of how these two can act and it resembles their relationship in the play.
 * KATE **

Actor’s name: Zac Efron Explanation: Zac Efron would be a fantastic actor for the part of Lucentio because he is always the good guy in the movies and that is what Lucentio's character portrays in the play. He stared in the series, "High School Musical," with Vanessa Hudgens, who is the beautiful girl he falls in love with. In this movie, Zac tried to be someone he wasn't to win Vanessa over, just like how Lucentio pretended to be a tutor for Bianca. Zac and Vanessa have good chemistry and seem to work well with each other. Also, off the screen, they were rumored to have a relationship. He is our best canidate for this role!

Actor’s name: Vanessa Hudgens Explanation: Bianca is a sweet and caring young girl in "The Taming of the Shrew." Vanessa Hudgens has played a similar character to this in "High School Musical." Her character in this movie portrays Bianca because she is the popular girl that everyone is interested in. Like we explained before, Zac and Vanessa have a big enough comfortability level that they would be able to fill out these roles perfect.
 * BIANCA **

Actor’s name: Gerard Butler Explanation: Gremio plays an older man who is trying to win over the young and beautiful woman in "The Tamming of the Shrew." Gerard Butler plays a role very similar to this in the movie "P.S. I Love You." In this movie he tries his hardest to just talk to the girl and that is what Gremio does too. Gerard would have the experience of a character like this and we think he is just the match for this role! HORTENSIO ** Actor’s name: Cam Gigandet Explanation: He is very good at acting the parts of an intense and persuasive characters. His biggest acting break hit when he starred in "Twilight" as one of the bad guys, trying to win over the girl. In this film, he is very determined and knows what he wants. In the play,Hortensio disguises himself to be a music teacher for Bianca just so he can get closer to her, and in "Twilight," Cam's character, James, disguises himself as a good guy and being helpful just to win over the girl. His acting experience would really bring a twist to this play.

Actor’s name: Thomas Lennon Explanation: Tranio plays the role of Lucentio's second man and best friend. Thomas Lennon recently starred in a movie called "17 Again." In this movie he plays the character of a best friend, which just so happens to be Zac Efron. These two actors would be perfect for the roles of Lucentio and Tranio because they have experience working well together. Also in this movie, Thomas' personality is goofy and knows how to make people laugh just like Tranio. We couldn't find a better pair of best friends.
 * TRANIO **

Actor’s name: Robert DeNiro Explanation: Robert DeNiro once played the role of a strict father in the popular movie, "Meet the Parents." In this movie he has a strong personality and is a father like figure that will be able to take charge and play the part of Baptista perfectly. He would be caring and would look out for their best inertests, an example of this would be his new movie coming out called "Everybody's Fine." In this movie, he just wants the best for his children and that is how Baptista is in the play with his two daughters.
