Clifton Collins, Jr. In THOR?

We know now that the guy who’ll play THOR is Chris Hemsworth and the who’ll play Loki is Tom Hiddleston and some of us would have to look up IMDB just to see who on earth they are. But the name Clifton Collins Jr. is not new especially to movie freaks who’ve been following his works for the past decade. The man’s practically the Samuel Jackson of supporting roles, he’d be in all kinds of gigs, the man knows no rest, he’s a machine.
He wrote on his twitter page recently..

Studying my ass off for THOR, gonna be a late night, well worth the loss of sleep!

And the next day…

Brewing big pot of joe, hitting THOR hard this mornin!

I doubt that it meant he’s reading comic books for the hell of it, but if he is researching for a role in director Kenneth Branagh‘s Marvel adaptation, then the question will be which role would he play…
I hope it’s not for Enchantress, cause that would be.. awkward!

By the way, the image above probably doesn’t do justice because unless you’ve seen SUNSHINE CLEANING, you wouldn’t recognize that nerdy look at all.
But you’d remember Clifton Collins Jr. as the Romulan right hand in J.J. Abrams’ STAR TREK, or maybe as the crazy loco bad guy in CRANK 2, how about as a border patrol officer in BABEL, and I always say he should’ve been nominated for his great performance in CAPOTE. The guy’s gonna get an Oscar one of these years, you’ll see..
He’s in 2 movies I’m anticipating this year, Mike Judge’s new comedy EXTRACT and BOONDOCK SAINTS 2: ALL SAINTS DAY
