Doc Savage Movies: 1930-2010
This is clearly open to much debate, but I did my best to come up with actors for a Doc Savage movie decade by decade. Aside from physical appearance, I tried to make choices based on actor’s...

Jerod,I have to say I REALLY appreciated this post of yours and all the work that went into it. I think you makesome valid points on who would have made a good Doc in the decades you showcase....

If only. An alternate for Kurt Russell in the 1990s might have been (don't laugh) Brendon Fraser. When he doesn't have a goofy look on his face (which admittedly isn't often), he makes for a credible...

As I recall, Steve Reeves mentioned in an interview (Cult Movies mag?) that he was in talks to play Doc Savage sometime in the 1960's. I think the idea was to adapt THE THOUSAND-HEADED MAN.

I don't recall hearing about Steve Reeves, but that does remind me that Chuck Connors was to play the role in 1970. There's a mention of it in an article available on Google News from 1969.

I'd switch out John Russell for Reagan, Dolph Lundgren for Kurt Russell, and Dwayne Johnson for Daniel (monkey ears) Craig. I see you mentioned two out those three.

Dwayne Johnson as Doc Savage? Good casting choice. If you can smell what the Rock is cooking!

Took some suggestions and came up with a few changes: 1930sHerman Brix has possibilities for the 30s as his Tarzan role shows. Hard to replace the Buster Crabbe photo, though. As Bruce Bennet...
