Reasons to Love Matthew Gray Gubler
He is an amazing actor. He plays Dr. Spencer Reid perfectly. I can not see anyone else in that role. His personality. He is adorable. He is precious and needs to be protected. Yes, I have fallen in love with a nerd and a dork. It is all good though. He has a huge heart. So kind and gentle. He is hilarious. His tweets are always so funny. He always makes me smile when I am down. He is such a funny and goofy guy. He is a total sweetheart. He is so nice to his fans and really cares about them. He loves us as much a we love him. He loves all things Disney. He loves Mickey Mouse and Disneyland. Anyone is a Disney fan is a friend in my book. Mismatched socks. Enough said. He is a weirdo, a nerd, and a dork. I totally love him for it. He is unapologetically himself. I love that he is himself and doesn't care what anyone else thinks. His drawings. They are amazing. I cannot draw at all. I will stick to culinary. He is an amazing guy. He inspires me everyday. Seriously what goes on in that adorable mind of his? His home. It looks like a castle out of a Disney movie. It so beautiful just like the person that lives there. It is so cozy as well. His voice. It is so soothing to me and I could listen to it all day. If I could have some narrate my life Matthew is who I would pick. Forget Morgan Freeman. His hair. He can pull off any hairstyle. I don't know about dreads. I feel only Samuel Larsen can pull that off. How I can tell what season of Criminal Minds this is? I just look at Matthew's hair. His eyes. They are so beautiful. I have noticed the way he smiles through his eyes. The fact that he loves Halloween and fall. That is my favorite season as well. Pumpkins, candy corn, ghosts, apples, etc. I love it all. What is not to like about him? He is adorable and the prefect guy. Well at least to me. He is my Prince Charming and I love him to death. He is so handsome. I don't want to be shallow but he is gorgeous. He is smart and a nerd. I will take brains over brawn any day. He is so relatable. I'm weird as well. I can relate to Spencer Reid as well. Why isn't Reid real? His website is amazing. It is called Gublerland. It is his version of Disneyland. He hand drew everything himself. Go check it out. He has a childlike innocence to him. I love the way he looks at the world. I love that he has held on to that. He is a beautiful soul and has an old soul. He has directed ten episodes of Criminal Minds. The ones I have seen so far are amazing.

Curse of the Dragon: The Shocking Coincidences That Led Fans to Believe Bruce Lee Was Cursed
In world cinema there has never been, and never will be, another martial arts star as iconic or charismatic as Bruce Lee. The Hong Kong kung fu idol — whose Chinese name "Xiao Long" literally means "Little Dragon" — shot to overnight fame in the early 1970s thanks to three successive box office hits that showcase his signature Jeet Kune Do moves — The Big Boss (1971), Fist of Fury (1972; a.k.a. The Chinese Connection), and Way of the Dragon (1972).

The 'Love Actually' Cast is One Big Festive Fandom Crossover, Actually
Before 2016’s Me Before You united most of the major pop culture fandoms, there was the delightfully British Christmas romcom Love Actually, which had a perfect ensemble cast and — dare I say it — some cross-fandom pairings that are the stuff of steamy fan fiction. Spanning Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Bridget Jones, Narnia, and Doctor Who, below is the great big fanfiction-ish cast of 2003's LoveActually.

I Love It When a Plan Comes Together: Fan Casting the A-Team Reboot
In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... the A-Team.

10 Actors Who Could Play Agent 47 Better Than Timothy Olyphant or Rupert Friend
The other day I went to go see [Hitman: Agent 47](tag:593267) in the theaters, expecting much more than was delivered. Everyone remembers Timothy Olyphant's terrible movie Hitman, and I honestly felt that Rupert Friend didn't do much better. While neither of these men are bad actors, I just felt like they didn't channel the video game character to their full potential, and they weren't big enough stars to make us overlook their bad performances, blinded by star power. In our modern society, video game movies are finally starting to get A-listers invested in the films, so it would not be too far fetched to see a big star take on Hitman. I mean, Michael Fassbender is doing [Assassin's Creed](tag:437814), Karl Urban and The Rock did Doom, Mark Whalberg and Mila Kunis did Max Payne, and we saw the lovely and talented Zachary Quinto give the best and most evil performance in the newest Hitman movie. Why can't we see a big star finally play Agent 47? Well, I'm going to mainly focus on this ideal in my post, and I hope you agree with most of my choices.

5 Actors Who Could Bring Green Lantern to the CW!
Hal Jordan has been heavily hinted at all throughout both The Flash and Arrow, but most recently we actually saw proof of his existence. We saw a man wearing a flight jacket with "Jordan" on it in a bar with Oliver Queen in a flashback. Now that we know for a fact he exists, it's only logical we actually see him on one of the CW shows. Since there's a heavy chance we'll see him, I would like to suggest five actors who could bring this role to the TV screen, and I hope you enjoy!

Batman Begins Again — Fan Casting 'Batman: Year One' for the DCEU
Batman: Year One has long been a favorite of DC comics fans. The comic explains the origins of Batman in a much more interesting way than we have thus far seen in movies such as Batman Begins. We have already been introduced to an older Batman in the DCEU, and so it would not be out of the question for someone to create a solo Batman movie with a much younger cast. In fact, I think that this could be an interesting direction for a potential film. It would be fun to see two different actors play the caped crusader at the same time, and such a film could steer the DCEU in a different direction, especially after Ben Affleck's solo movie. Here are my top picks for who should be cast.

I'm Back Baby: Fan Casting a Live-Action 'Futurama' Movie
Futurama, the fan favorite TV show from the creators of The Simpsons, has built up a huge fan base over the years. Just like The Simpsons, this show has broken barriers and appealed to anyone and everyone. In my opinion, this show ended entirely too early, and a live-action movie could be the perfect way to end the legacy of this animated TV staple. However, in order to do that, you would need the perfect cast ensemble. Here are my suggestions for such an ensemble.
