You need a real singer for Leo, too. Being 'better than Johnny Depp' doesn't really cut it for this role.

As I said, I do not know the power or range of his voice... I know he has a good voice, already knowing he is better than Depp. You need a real singer for Sweeney, that didn't stop Depp from wanting to do it or being cast, and though the movie is nowhere near as good as it could be, it is still pretty good despite the singing. Many would say Brent Carver isn't "really a great singer", which I've never understood, but I've heard it nonetheless. My point was, he might be good enough, or able to get good enough, to sing the role... and in a movie you have the ability to do many takes and post production assistance until it's good enough... and can also mix his voice with a stronger voice of someone else when it's required and make it sound natural. The point is I think he can sing, he can act, I think he's right for the role in many ways, and he would most likely want to do it, and he is a star actor. There are lots of actors who can REALLY sing it but would never be cast because they aren't big stars, and many big stars who could get it made but could never pull the role off the way it needs to be... JGL is at least a happy medium. But no one has probably even discussed a movie of Parade in a serious way, so this is just random talk because there are going to be two movies of JRB musicals.
