AfterElton Fantasy Casting: Who should steal Bradley Cooper's heart in "Valentine's Day"?
Alias star Bradley Cooper, who's made memorable appearances in Nip/Tuck and starred in the short-lived Kitchen Confidential (and also is rumored to be the favorite for the title role in the big-screen Green Lantern) will co-star in the Garry Marshall-directed ensemble romantic comedy Valentine's Day: Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, Shirley MacLaine, Bradley Cooper and Ashton Kutcher are in final negotiations to star in the movie, which has five slightly interconnecting stories playing out during a Valentine's Day in Los Angeles. Roberts is an army officer on leave from Iraq on a flight to L.A. Cooper, on the same flight, is a gay man whose lover is a closeted football player. Okay, while we all try to wipe the incomprehensible sentence "Roberts is an army officer on leave from Iraq" from our minds, let's ponder who should play the as-yet-uncast role of Bradley's closeted football player lover... Butters, Shemar Moore My two choices are a bit out-there, but appropriate. Shemar Moore has pretty much flown under my radar (I've never seen his two biggest roles, in Criminal Minds and The Young & The Restless), but his appearance on The 2009 AfterElton Hot 100: Men Of Color list certainly made me take notice. And what can I say, I'd love to see Billy (Butters) Magnussen in something other than the dull romantic triangle they have him trapped in on As The World Turns. My other top choices would be Cheyenne Jackson and Wilson Cruz (he'd be perfect now that's he's buffed up). Who would be your fantasy pick? Feel free to go as far "outside the box" as you wish!

Closeted Football Player?
I'm casting a vote for Nathan Fillion. He's big, beefy and HHHHHOT!
Yes. Yes, I do believe I would pay to see that.
Darn it snicks!
Darn it snicks! When I saw this earlier today, I had all sorts of ideas about who should play the football player - until you flashed those two pictures in front of my face. My mind is now completely blank. Probably lack of oxygen or something. Wow.
But I'm going to toss out Chris Pine, Matthew Fox, or Jensen Ackles.
Now I'm going to try and remember Butters as he is in the photo above, and not how I saw him on ATWT today with Allison.
Butters is lickable
Butters is lickable (especially when he's lounging around in his boxers), but he's too baby-faced.
I think both Jensen and Jared from Supernatural could do the closeted football player role, although I doubt they would take such a role.
Butters would be a GREAT
Butters would be a GREAT choice....other than that I'd say Tom Welling, Jared Padalecki, Kevin Zegers or Ben McKenzie

I may be straight, but I'm not narrow.
Closeted Football Player nomination
I would say Captain Awesome himself, Ryan McPartlin...
Come to think of it though, he already played a closeted football player in an episode of the shortlived Pepper Dennis.
It should be...
...somebody around the same age (Cooper is 34, so somebody late 20s, early 30s would work) and who can bulk up, and, I presume, can do light comedy.
How about Ryan Reynolds? Chris Evans? Mario Lopez?
Bobby Cannivale --
Bobby Cannivale -- although, I think he'd probably like to get away from all the gay roles he's done recently. Adrian Pazdar (Nathan on Heroes) would be excellent (he wanted to be a football player before he became an actor) or Jake Weber from "Medium"...what would be really interesting is to get the gay Australian Rugby player, Ian Roberts, who's trying to get his acting career going.
Oh Bobby!
I was going to mention him - Bobby CannAvale ;o) but I would like him in every gay role, so it gets even boring for me. Still, Bobby C would be awesome!
I like some suggestions of others too.
My list:
Tahmoh Penikett, Wilson Cruz, Misha Collins, Nathan Fillion, Chris Pine, Dave Annable, Henry Cavill, John Krasinski, Channing Tatum, Paul Walker, Chris Evans, Jensen Ackles. I wouldn't mind Matthew Rhys either, but I think that won't happen.
[Underlined names means I don't really/at all know these actors (are they even all actors?) but they look hot in the HOT 100 list!]
NOT Shemar Moore! I really really don't like his face.. There is something 'mean' in his expression. And his head seems too small for the rest of his body.
Sorry, just had a 2-minute super-shallow moment..

Closet football player eh...
Closet football player, closet football player, I swear I think I've seen one of those before...
Ah yes now I remember, Matt Battaglia was Drew Boyd on QAF!
mmm
I think
they might go for a less famous actor.
Less Famous can be good....
Let's Go with the Obvious...
