Agree that Morgan was great but too old and not "bulky" enough. I have always pictured a mix of Denzel and Will Smith as Alex. He has to be young and sexy.

I would like to see Dennis Haysert(not sure of the spelling)--the guy who played President Palmer on a season of 24. I think Morgan Freeman is passed the age to play Alex.

Okay I am a BIG Alex Cross fan first and foremost. Now I love myself some Denzel Washington I think he is one of the greatest actors of our time but he is not Alex Cross. As for Jamie Foxx, there just anyway he could pull a character like Alex Cross off and should not be considered at all. In my humble little opinion the actor who was made for this character is MORGAN FREEMAN!!!

Dennis Hesbert without a doubt - (The Unit, several Allstate commercials). Excellent actor & perfect for Alex Cross! Dwayne Johnson (aka "The Rock") to be John Sampson!

Shronda morgan freeman does not fit the description of alex cross on the jp website. He is not athletic and to me morgan is not attractive and in my imagination alex is. Morgan freeman should never have portrayed alex cross in the first place.

THAT'S the problem.... in ANY of the books, when Alex is "getting it on", I can't get Morgan Freeman out of my head. Makes me want to skip the sex parts... ha ha..

I think Samuel L. Jackson should play Cross. I always picture him when reading a "Cross" novel.

I loved Morgan Freeman as Alex and I even envision him when I'm reading a Cross novel, although he's getting older you've gotta give to the man (he is in his 70's and still going strong)! I could also see Denzel as a good Alex Cross and why not bring someone back outta the woodwork, like Wesley Snipes to play Sampson. One thing I love about James Patterson is he developed this character as an African American and made him so real and believable. Being a black American, myself, you want to see more positive figures that you can relate to- not many other mystery authors, I've read, put black American heros as their main characters, unless they are black American themselves.

I believe that Will Smith would be the best actor to play Alex Cross. He even played Muhammad Ali, who Cross is supposed to resemble.

Jeremy, I agree with you wholeheartly with Will Smith. Plus maybe it can be made into a family affair with Jade and the kids. Ruby Lee as Nama.
