The top five actors who'd play a role in The Catcher in the Rye

Now we all know that our beloved book, The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. isn't getting a movie anytime soon, because of the rights never being signed to a specific film company.



BUT if there to be a movie, and I magically were to direct it, here's the cast I would choose to use for the movie.


                   1. Holden- Jacob Lofland

  If you've ever seen the Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018)  or The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015), then you know that Lofland played a supporting role as Aris and he absolutely nailed it! Lofland would play a great, and impudent Holden. Plus he's got the looks and would look like Holden's twin with his red "people shooting" hat on. He'd fit right in beside Stradlater and Ackley at Pency Academy, and the rich, too good for you, I'm the best boys within the academy. Just imagine him beside Mr. Spencer. Which brings me to my next point...




                                             2. Mr. Spencer- Steve Carell

 Okay, I know that when you picture Mr. Spencer, you don't see top macho man Carell there; However, we can make Steve Carell look like an old man due to the magic of Hollywood makeup artists. Plus, Mr. Spencer has this sorta sarcastic vibe that I get from watching Micheal on The Office. With his personality and the look of what Holden describes Old Man Spencer as Steve Carell is obviously the BEST choice for it.

3. Robert Ackley- Gaten Matarazzo
Almost everyone in the world knows who this amazing teen actor is, he stars on the hit Netflix show Stranger Things. Matarazzo is really good at playing an unpopular teenage boy. But with him, he also has a lisp in the show Stranger Things, which would give Holden something to hate and complain about even more... perfect!



 4. Stradlater- Luke Benward
Has anyone watched the best movie ever, Cloud 9, no, okay. Well in Cloud 9 stars Luke Benward, who plays a legendary snowboarder who now is a dog groomer. Anyway, in the book Stradlater is defined as both a 'Secret Slob' and a 'Sexy Bastard', and I think Benward could embody this perfectly and have girls fall all over him. I could just seem him in the movie starting to act as the 'good guy' and then when the viewers actually find out what he's done, they'd hate him. He's got the looks to play both good and bad, therefore is perfect for the role of Stradlater.

5.Jane Gallagher- Mackenzie Foy

If you've ever seen The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, then you know that this girl is an amazing actor (even if the Twilight movies are horrible) and she's got an impressive resume for being just nearly an adult. Makenzie would be an amazing Jane due to her innocent look like how Holden describes her and though she's not an actual character that meets with Holden, she'd be good in flashbacks. Plus, she seems like the kind of person who'd keep her kings in the back row in a game of chess.
