When we got to interview All the Bright Places author Jennifer Niven last year, she confirmed that a movie adaptation of her bestselling book was in the works and that Elle Fanning would play the lead female character, Violet Markey. The male lead, Theodore Finch, however, hasn't been decided on yet, which is why she started a #FindFinch search on her Facebook page and other socials.
She updated her followers every Monday and shared why she thinks the suggested actor is perfect as Finch. Last Monday, she ended her search and did a quick recap of all of the actors on the list.
"I know we all see Finch in slightly different ways, and the perfect actor to some of us may not be the one you see for the role, but all of the actors here are talented. They've made the list because they have something in them that makes us think of Finch." she said on her Facebook post. "But the most important thing is that we choose an actor who can BECOME Finch to all of us." Without further ado, here's the list of actors who could be playing Theodore Finch.Â
Cole Sprouse
Asa Butterfield
Daryl Dale
Miles Heizer
Timothee Chalamet
Freddie Highmore
Steffan Argus
Charlie Heaton
Ferdia Walsh-Peelo
Nick Robinson
Jonah Hauer-King
What's more, we get to vote who we think is the perfect Finch! "While this vote won't be the deciding factor as to who plays Finch, it will definitely be part of the casting process. Your opinion is SO IMPORTANT to us and especially to me," she said in her post. Cast your votes and share your suggestions here! The results will be revealed next Monday and we're already freaking out!
