The Crucible Cast List

Reverend Samuel Parris: Jim Carrey
                                                                

Jim Carrey would fit the part of Reverend Samuel Parris because in the Crucible, Reverend Samuel Parris is very over-dramatic. In most of the shows I have seen with Jim Carrey, he is also very over-dramatic. In the book, Reverend Samuel Parris is described as having a big ego, or conceited. Jim Carrey has also displayed those attributes in many of the movies he has played in.

Tituba: Cisely Tyson

I chose Cisely Tyson for the part of Tituba. I chose her because in the story, The Crucible, Tituba is described as a black slave from Barbados, who likes to do voodoo. Cisely Tyson also was amazing at internalizing the character or person she was playing, so it was very believable - just as Tituba was at saying she was a witch, even though Tituba was just an ordinary slave, who just never had any power or authority.









Abigail Williams: Dakota Fanning

For the part of Abigail Williams I chose Dakota Fanning. I chose Datoka Fanning because Abigail Williams is described as being a very pretty girl, and Dakota fits that description very well. Abigail also is one who tends to pretend to be naive, when she is really smart, and knows what she's doing.  In many movies I have seen with Dakota Fanning she has done quite a good job of that.  She pretends to be naive and innocent, when she is really smart and knows exactly what she is doing.

Thomas Putnam: Brad Pitt

For the part of Thomas Putnam I chose Brad Pitt. I chose him because I feel that he is often quite good at being the 'bad guy' in movies, and yet still able to capture the audience and make them see his side, just like Thomas Putnam. Thomas Putnam is known for trying to take more land than is rightfully his, and still isn't really disliked.  People tend to like him, even though he isn't the typical "good guy".  

Goody Ann Putnam: Angelina Jolie

For the part of Goody Ann Putnam I chose Angelina Jolie. I chose her because Goody Ann Putnam is described as being a woman who had lost 7 children just after birth, and was completely devastated. Angelina Jolie has manychildren of her own, and also has motherly instincts like Goody Ann.












John Proctor: Tim McGraw

For the part of John Proctor I chose Tim McGraw. I chose him because John Procter is a farmer, and Tim McGraw has played a farmer in many of the movies I have seen him in. John Procter is also described as charming, and confident, qualities that I have also seen in Tim McGraw's movie characters.

Mary Warren: Emma Watson

For the part of Mary Warren I chose Emma Watson. Mary Warren is a sweet girl who works for the proctors as Abigail's replacement. Emma Watson is also very sweet and caring in many of the movies I have seen her in, such as Harry Potter. Mary Warren is also hard-working, just like Emma Watson.

Goody Rebecca Nurse: Oprah Winfrey

For the part of Goody Rebecca Nurse I chose Oprah Winfrey. I chose Oprah because like Goody Rebecca Nurse, she is widely known for her charity and kindness. She has made many charitable donations all over the world.  Rebecca Nurse was kind and charitable in the story 'The Crucible'.

Goody Elizabeth Proctor: Charlize Theron

For the part of Goody Elizabeth Proctor I chose Charlize Theron. I chose Charlize Theron because she is older, but still pretty. Goody Elizabeth is described as being just that. Goody Elizabeth Proctor is also responsible for kicking Abigail Williams out of her home. Goody Elizabeth 'fights' for her man, and Charlize Theron would have no problem doing just that.

Reverend John Hale: Arnold Schwarzenegger

For the part of Reverend John Hale I chose Arnold Schwarzenegger. I chose him for the part because in the story 'The Crucible' Reverend John Hale is very well respected, and very authoritative. I think Aronld Schwarzenegger fits that perfectly. I have seen many movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and he is hard-working and does a good job at what he does, just like Reverend John Hale.
