I'd say Leo DiCaprio. I've always had a crush on him and he reminds me of a hotter version of Jude. I would've killed to see him play alfie.

I've thought about this for several days.

Who would I have rather seen as Alfie? Nobody else comes to mind.

Disagree on Leo being a "hotter version" of Jude.

He's an illusionist...which is just a fancy word for magician.

Leo...no way in my honest opinion. But, I am a die hard Jude fan, so no one else could play this role. Leo is good, but I don't find him half as attractive as Jude.

Anyone british. I get that he suits the role well but as a brit I just cringed every time he said "Know what I mean?".

You mean the phrase itself or the way he said it?

You're supposed to be the leading lady in your own life, for God's sake!

But...Jude Law IS British. At least, I was pretty sure he was.

I could definitely see Leo playing Alfie, along with Clive Owen, and possibly Eric Bana. But, I love Jude's take on Alfie too much to say he should be replaced.

Leo got his "Alfie moment" in Catch Me If You Can. (fake) airline pilot talking shyte and pulling many women. Some guys cheered him on in the audience no doubt =)

Jude Law is incredibly sexy.

[–] janetpocahontas 15 years ago

Jude was perfect for the role.

Jude Law makes a great and sexy womanizer, he did the role of Alfie extremely well.

I love you Arnold

Jude Law was perfect for the role. Josh Hartnett may also would have worked.

Michael Caine!!! ;-)

All other IMO suitable actors (Peter Cook, John Castle, Malcolm McDowell, Lewis Collins, Jon Finch,...) are now too old or unfortunately even dead, the would have had to play Alfie in the 60's or early 70's but back then Caine was fantastic.
