*"Clint Eastwood Reveals Why He Cast Non-Actors in '15:17 to Paris.' In spring
2017, Clint Eastwood was grilling Spencer Stone, Alek Skarlatos and Anthony
Sadler for details about their harrowing takedown of a heavily armed ISIS recruit
on a crowded train heading from Amsterdam to Paris. At the time, Eastwood also
was considering various 20-something actors to play the real-life trio whose
story formed the basis of his new film The 15:17 to Paris when it hit him that he
need look no further.
"I was going over and over it with them because I wanted to get as much
accuracy as I could into the film, and one day it just crossed my mind as I was
looking at him. I don't want to sound Norma Desmond-ish, but the faces just fit,"
Eastwood tells The Hollywood Reporter. "And I just thought, ‘I wonder if they
could do it?' I think there are some wonderful actors around that could've played
this, but there's something about this particular project and the heroism that
was involved and the way they handled the thing that is just kind of unique, so I
thought I'd try that here. And I just said, ‘I think I'll take a shot at it.'"
