who would play seymour? id cast Tim Robbins or (although im not sure of his name) Gabriel Burns (??) - he was 'Dean Keaton' in 'The Usual Suspects'. i would suggest, though, that a lesser known actor would be best for such a film. clearly, it wouldnt go to cinema, and to do justice to salinger youd want an actor not immediately associated with many/ great films, especially not blockbusters! if the story is a character- based one, then you want a fresh face to put the emphasis on the individual character that is seymour. i know that didnt make a lot of sense but i hope you can see my point!
