- Leo is proposed as a higher-ceiling Charlie but may have been too electric and emotionally developed for the role.
- Matt Damon is preferred over Leo, although he may seem too smart and carry too much baggage for Charlie.

- Ben Affleck is considered, though Chris O'Donnell is judged better suited to this particular role.
