Actor’s name: Megan Fox Explanation: Based on her performance in __Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen__, Megan Fox would be a good choice for Kate because she plays a mean high school girl in that movie which is similar to the part in this play. Kate is a mean, angry shrew in "Taming of the Shrew" and acts similar to Megan Fox's character in that movie. They are both young teen girl characters. Megan Fox would know exactly how to play the part and she would have great experience. She also has a great look for Kate and that is just an extra addition to how perfect for the job she is!
 * KATE **

Actor’s name: Johnny Depp Explanation: Petruchio is a very trickey and persuasive guy in "Taming of the Shrew" because he plays a trick on Kate. Johnny Depp has played a similar character before in the movies: __Pirates of the Carribean: 1,2, and 3.__ His character is manipulative to the people around him, persuasive, and most of all a trickster. I believe he did an outstanding job in these movies and he really knows how to get into his character and play the part. He is clearly the man for this role!
 * PETRUCHIO **

Actor’s name: Matthew McConaughey Explanation: In the movies, __Ghost of Girlfriend's Past,__ __Fool's Gold,__ __How to loose a guy in 10 Days,__ Matthew McConaughey plays quiet the ladies man. He seems to win all the girls over, but in all three of those movies there is one girl his character is after that he has to work for. Lucentio's character is similar to this because he is tying to win Bianca over. Another good adition is, Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey have very good chemistry. In both, __Fool's Gold__ and __How to Loose a Guy in Ten Days__ they play an excellent couple and you can really see the comfortability they have acting together.
 * LUCENTIO **

Actor’s name: Kate Hudson Explanation: Kate Hudson has played roles of kind, innocent, pretty girls, in the past, such like Bianca. Some movies she has done a magnificent job in are: __You, me and Dupree__ and __Alex & Emma__. Kate Hudson has the innocent look and in movies of the past she has done a good job acting the part. As i said befoe, Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey have amazing chemistry. Their chemistry is displayed in __Fool's Gold__ and __How to Loose a Guy in Ten Days__ where they play as a couple and they make their roles funny and romantic at the same time because they have fun and are comfortable together. "Taming of the Shrew" is a romantic comedy so what couple could be more perfect!
 * BIANCA **

Actor’s name: Josh Duhamel Explanation: __When in Rome__ is about a girl named Beth, played by Kirsten Bell, who is unlucky in love. On a whirlwind trip to Rome, she steals coins from a fountian of love in hopes of falling in love. She is then pursued by a band of suitors. One of those suitors is played by Josh Duhamel. He would play a good Gremio because he is one of the suitors who is chasing Bianca. He would have the experience and mind state of playing this role well.
 * GREMIO **

Actor’s name: Jesse Metcalfe Explanation: In the movie __John Tucker Must Die__ Jesse Metcalfe plays John Tucker. John is a popular basketball star who chases after every girl he wants. He gets over girls and moves on easily just like Hortensio in "Taming of the Shrew." Hortensio falls in love with Bianca but once he realizes Bianca is not falling for him, he quickly moves on and ends up marrying a widow. Jesse Metcalfe would play Hortensio with great experience!
 * HORTENSIO **

Actor’s name: Vince Vaughn Explanation: Vince Vaughn would play a perfect Tranio because in many of his movies such as: __Four__ __Christmases__ and __Wedding Crashers__ he plays very funny characters. Matthew McConaughey also plays many comical roles. Since Vince and Matthew played similar characters in past movies they would have great chemistry and be good playing a comedy together because that is what they are both good at. They would be perfect for the part because in "Taming of the Shrew" Tranio and Lucentio are close friends. They get along and have chemistry. Also, Vince has a ton of experience in comedy movies and he is hilarious. He will make a great Tranio!
 * TRANIO **

Actor’s name: Steve Martin Explanation: In the past, Steve Martin has done a great job playing stict father roles in movies such as: __Cheaper by the Dozen__ and __Father of the Bride__. In those movies he plays a very protective father who is worried about his children's well being. This type of character is very similar to the type of charatcer Baptista is in this play. So clearly Steve Martin would be perfect for this role.
 * BAPTISTA **
