Actor’s name: Bryce Dallas Howard Explanation: Kate is a character of a woman who is unwilling to fall in love. Bryce Dallas Howard would be a good actress to play Kate because she has experience acting as a rude and disrespectful character. Not only does she have have enough experience and the abilty to play the role, but she also has the appearance of a shrew.
 * KATE **

Actor’s name: Christian Bale Explanation: Christian Bale would play an excellent Petruchio because of both his ability to play the character and his personality. Christian has a prominent ability to play action and rebellion characters, such as those in "Terminator Salvation" and "Public Enemy"; an ability which would be excellent for Petruchio. "The Machinist" also shows Christian's abilities to play a crazed, abusive character. Christian's character as Bruce Wayne in the "Batman" series also proves that he can play a playboy man who can fight for the good but is also very capable of love.
 * PETRUCHIO **

Actor’s name: Shia Labeouf Explanation: Lucentio is a young man who fought for the love of Bianca. In the end it all worked out for the two. Shia Labeouf has experience as acting in many different genres. In two of his movies, The Transformers and Eagle Eye, he fought for what he wanted the most. Shia Labeouf has the ability to act as a determined young man who will never give up on his ambitions.
 * LUCENTIO **

Actor’s name: Brittany Snow Explanation: Bianca's character in the book is always nice and pretty. We think that Brittany Snow fits these characteristics very well to play Bianca. She is very nice to people and she is really pretty. In the movie "Prom Night" (2008) Brittany plays Donna Keppel she is the nice and pretty girl that everyone likes. In "John Tucker Must Die" (2006) Brittany plays the good girl and she tries to get revenge on John Tucker who has been playing other girls.
 * BIANCA **

Actor’s name: Edward Asner Explanation: In the play, Gremio is an elderly man competing for the love of Bianca. He is very jealous and foolish, therefore, Edward Asner would be an excellent actor to play Gremio. Edward Asner starred in movies such as "UP", where he voiced a foolish, elderly man trying to get to an imaginary land, and "Elf", where he played Santa. These two characters of his show his ability to play a foolish, old man. His looks and age also make him a great choice for Gremio.
 * GREMIO **

Actor’s name: Peter Facinelli Explanation: The character of Horsentio is a handsome guy that is falling for Bianca. Peter Facinelli would be the right actor for this part because he is able to play any part very well. In the "Twilight saga" he plays a vampire doctor compared to Bob Walker in "The Big Kahuna". Peter Facinelli is not the youngest guy to play Horsentio but he looks younger and is handsome. Bianca will obviously be able to fall for Peter Facinelli as the actor for Hortensio.
 * HORTENSIO **

Actor’s name: Daren Kagasoff Explanation: Tranio is known as Lucentio's servent and good friend. Daren Kagasoff has played in the hit TV series called The Secret Life of the American Teenager as Ricki Underwood. Although he does not have much experience in film he would be a good choice because he really knows how to capture his character. Daren would be able to act as a good friend to Shia because he really puts forth the amount of effort needed.
 * TRANIO **


 * BAPTISTA **

=
Explanation: Robert De Niro would be a perfect for Baptista because he can easily play an intimidating role, such as the role he played in “Stardust”. He would also be able to play a role as a protective father, like he did in “Meet the Parents”. He has a very mafia-like personality to him that would make him able to play a strict father. =====
