Lately it hit the world wide web that there would be an Uncharted: Drakes Fortune movie in the future. Although I’m 100 percent against this, considering what they did to Max Payne, I decided to compose a list (yes another damned Top 5 list from me Gary A Swaby) of possible candidates that would make a good Drake. Check it out and leave your comments.

As usual, many of you will disagree with my choices, so simply leave comments and debate and discuss my choices and your own. I enjoy criticism so bring it on.

5. Ben Affleck

There are slight similarities here, and I guess he could pull it off as a last resort, but I don’t remember Ben doing much lately.

4. Matthew Fox

I am not too familiar with his work, I just know he was in Lost and Speed Racer, but he certainly could be considered.

3. Christian Bale

Bale defiantly carries some similarities to Drake in his features, but would he be able to match Drakes sense of humor? Heck Christian Bale is in everything else these days, why not just throw him in there right? Thats Hollywood for you.

2. Gerard Butler

This guy defiantly has the personality to pull off Drakes swag, but would he be able to hide the accent for long enough?

1. Nathan Fillion

Arguably the best look alike of them all. Another factor that counts towards him is that he is listed as being in the Halo movie, plus the fact that he’s appeared in TV series’s such as Two Guys and a Girl and Desperate Housewives means he has the personality needed to play Drake.

  • Newts, I was actually considering adding clive owen in there man lol.
  • pumpkinhead303
    Nathan Fillion or ken marino, Rynolds would be a good 3rd but Fillion would be the my first choice.
  • Nathan Fillion.

    You people need to watch these videos. This is Nathan Drake. Nathan Fillion Drake. ;)
  • Newts
    Clive Owen all the way hes already done some sick action movies

    Clive Owen
    or maybe ryan reynolds
  • dragonJP
    Nathan Fillion would be an excellent choice. He is a top-notch actor with good experience in everything you need to play Drake: Action/adventure (Serenity/Firefly), Drama/Comedy (Desperate Housewives/Castle). He's one of those young actors on the rise who's anxiously awaiting that BREAKOUT role, so you know he is going to bring it for Uncharted Drake's Fortune. If done right this could be for him what Transformers was for Shia or what Star Wars was for Harrison Ford....
  • DCI
    I 100% agree with Nathan Fillion playing Drake. If you watched FireFly and Serenity then you would know that he is perfect..
  • Bromeus
    RYAN REYNOLDS. Same type of humour. Plus he totally could pull of drake.
  • Rob
    I think Brendan Fraser would fit nicely is this sespool of bad actors that look like Nathan Drake :D
  • smokey
    If he would slim down some... Charlie Sheen. That actually might be too serious a role for him though, but he is funny.
  • FiLTHY ESKiMO
    Nathan Fillion. I couldn“t agree more. He has the same look and style of Nathan Drake. His sense of humor matches him perfectly.

    What about having the actual voice actor play him?

    Top notch article.
  • mastershredder
    Ben is too much of a pretentious douche bag and a crapy actor.

    How about:
    #1 no one
    #2 No one
    #3 no one
    #4 no one
    #5 no one

    Why does a game story have to become a movie to gain more popularity with the populace? If you want to know the story play the game. It is not the same experience, period.
  • Andrew
    Mike Lombardi
  • Why is everyone saying Nolan north, I dont think he would be that great for the role imo. even if he is the voice, he probably wont be great on screen.

    Props for all the comments though people.
  • Christian Bale
    CHRISTIAN BALE WOULD BE THE BETTER CHOICE HE HAS MORE EXPERIENCE AND IS WELL KNOWN GERARD BUTLER LOOKS TOO OLD TO PLAY NATHAN DRAKE AND BEN AFFLECK WOULD BE TERRIBLE.
  • Nathan Fillion has my vote!
  • driskal
    I think they should use Jeff Probst. The host of Survivor. He resembles Drake a bit and hes familiar with being in exotic locales. All they need to do is give little more of a "rough" look and i think he'd be perfect. Peep the pics

  • How could you miss Brad Pitt? He could easily pull off Drake. Have you seen Mr. & Mrs. Smith? How about Burn After Reading?

    this is off topic but i think Jason Statham should play agent47. Hes bald with an english accent and hes no stanger to distributing knuckle sandwiches.The other guy was awful imo.
  • ryan
    I agree, Ryan Reynolds would be a good fit to play Drake.
