Actor’s name: Tina Fey Explanation: She has played very sarcastic roles on many different shows of SNL, which would fit the role of Kate really well. She also played the teacher in the movie Mean Girls, and gave that character a very sarcastic, and almost pessimistic outlook on life. These are qualities shared by Kate, and the actress that plays her would need to have these acting qualities. These movies and TV shows show how Fey can use these qualities to give a character a comedic, sarcastic attitude.

Actor’s name: Russel Crowe Explanation: Able to change attitudes quickly as shown through The Gladiator where he went from family guy to fierce competitor and possibly violent or cruel, like the role of Petruchio. He would be able to adapt to the role of Petruchio where he is strict and almost cruel to Kate, but then can act loving and gentlemanly in front of others. Crowe also will be playing the role of Robin Hood, in the 2010 movie of Robin Hood. Both characters have noble intentions, where Robin Hood could be giving money to the poor, but stealing from the rich. Like Petruchio, good intentions, but the wrong way of doing them.
