  • paulcoolman2 Somehow I don't know tbh... I feel like Newman might pull off the nonchalant, laid-back, but cool as ice Cliff than the emotionally bipolar (undiagnosed) Rick.
    • nathanbates   @paulcoolman2 maybe, but Cliff’s look was based on Redford in Little Fauss and Big Halsy, so I just went for the obvious route.
    • paulcoolman2   @nathanbates Maybe he could also suit Rick honestly. Idk how similar his and Leo's Jay Gatsby's are but knowing the character's mental state, I believe he could use that advantage to play Rick
