Matt Dillon (?) signed for lead in Factotum:

Norwegian director Bent Hamer, who has been planning the screen adaption og
Factotum with Jim Stark for 6 years, has signed Matt Dillon & Marissa Tomei
for the project. Seems a bit slick to me. But at least we won't have to see
a whining Sean Penn in the role...

I would have liked to see a young Albert Finney do the part... or maybe Ewan
McGregor.

Oh well.

Too pretty.

Try Ernie Sabella. Benecio Del Toro (hsis voice is very close to Buk's).
Dean Stockwell may be too old.

Or maybe someone non-white.
