Fan CastingFantastic 4

Description of Ben Grimm (The Thing):

And now we have the last Fantastic 4 hero, Ben Grimm. Now with Ben Grimm, he is gruff but kindhearted young man whose only escape lay in a college football headquarters. But also has troubled past in his experience at that times. And it’s important to cast actors that are Jewish like pBen Grimm is. And ended up with Jason Segel. He is known in “How I Met Your Mother” and he just feels underrated, and the fact that he is exactly Jewish. So Jason Segel… as Ben Grimm.
