I've noticed some disagreements in some the casting threads regarding some of the actors ages not fitting with the character (too old, too young). I was wondering how old the G.I. Joes should be portrayed in the movie.
Personally, I always saw them as ranging from the late twenties to early forties so that's kinda what I'd like to see them portrayed as in the movies. Last edited by Rogles; 11-07-2007 at 09:04 PM.. |

I'd say late 20's for some characters and up to mid 40's for others. I can say that if they try to make all the characters 25 and "kewl" that they will absolutely ruin this franchise!

i woulda said 30 - 40, but i think there are few "28- 29" year olds in that mix.
therefore... 25 - 35 |

25-40 is a good age range. They obviously shouldn't all be in their twenties, but if everyone in this unit is damn near middle-aged, it's going to look silly and perform poorly at the box office. Quote:

It's not going to be a teenage drama just because some of the cast members are younger than you. |

I agree with compulsive...I've been in the military for 10 yrs., I'm an E-6 (for 2), and I'm 30. I enlisted @ the ripe ol' age of 20.
Realistically speaking, MOST military personnel retire within 20-25 years of service (notice I said MOST)! So, let's say troup "A" enlisted @ 18, and stayed for 25 years, that would make him 43yrs. old! That my friends is desk jockey age in the military! You also have to remember, the special forces i.e. SEALS, Combat Control, Airborne, etc. mostly hand pick candidates straight out of basic trng. Sure, you can volunteer to try out, and some make it in that way. But, my point is, you could be going through survival school as early as 20-21, and actually be special ops by 23! That being said, by 25yrs old, you're pretty dang mature, trust me!!!!!!!! My parents didn't even recognize me when I came home for the first time (I was 23 and had been gone for 3 years)! That's no lie! |

That seems way too old for the Dreadnoks, and as for experience, I know guys younger than every age in your list who are former Army Rangers, USMC Intel, and Special Forces. A guy in my family went from being a SEAL to working for a private security firm at 33. A guy who enlists at 18 has seven years of experience at 25. It's not going to be a teenage drama just because some of the cast members are younger than you. maybe i shouldve mentioned in my original post ---alot of these ages i came up with are based on the file card artwork more than anything. also what i remember of their character from the cartoon. (remember torpedo sounding and acting marginally younger than gung ho) also, ive always imagined the joe team to be a team recruited from the best and often highly seasoned soldiers. my choices DO NOT reflect stark, military reality or even box office logistics...just personal preference and OPINION. however... i do realize that our military is comprised of many young men and women -- many younger than i. i have nothing but the utmost respect for every last one of them, past and present, and even future warriors. they all do something i feel i certainly am not cut out for. and as far as the dreadnoks...im basing that on artwork as well as older grungy biker types. |
