    In my opinion no one can do it except Harrison.
    I did not vote in this one.
    Harrison has made Indy his and I don't think it would work with anyone else. Just as I could not see anyone else play Han Solo.

    Hugh Jackman. He's the only one I could see playing Han Solo too, if the part was cast today.

    Bryan Singer saw some Han/Harrison qualities in Hugh; he said during his commentary for X2 that the scene where Wolverine and Jean talk, then he cuts her off with a kiss, is inspired by the Han/Leia Falcon kiss scene in ESB.

    I finally decided to vote because Hugh Jackman is the closest thing to Harrison.

    Russel Crowe (Hugh Jackman would be my alternate) is my pick. He's similar to Ford in that he can play hero-type characters that appeal to both men and women. He can certainly perform the physical stunts. The one thing I'm not sure about is if he can get the comedic stuff and laugh at himself.

    I don't like the way Tom Selleck was in the screen test for Raiders. I thought he was loud and annoying. I would never want to see him as Indiana.

    Maybe an older Colin Farrell. It's really tricky, I can't imagine anyone else playing the part.

    Perhapsh Connery, or Arnie. ;)

    i'd pass on Tom. He doens't have that type of appeal.

    I voted for val because he's cool.
