Both the Killer and His Victim Could Be Played by the Same Actor
Nicholas Hoult, your day has come.
British actor Nicholas Hoult started out as a child actor holding his own opposite of Hugh Grant in About a Boy, and peaked in a bizarre role in George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road:

Could also be played by Nicholas Hoult, who starred as the young J.R.R. Tolkien:
And here is Hoult as the protagonist in 95 year old Clint Eastwood’s fine Juror No. 2,
Not all of Hoult’s movies are good, but he has delivered some fine performances in fine movies.
Who do you favor for the roles?
That guy from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Jake Gyllenhaal could do Bryan Kohberger. He's a dead ringer in AppleTV's Presumed Innocent.
Speaking of film, crimes and prosecution, the Pike County Massacre would make an incredible, wrenching movie. And the courtroom drama for that 9-yr old crime is nowhere near over. The presiding judge retired and another retired judge, James Hein, took over. He blew up the State's plea agreement with Jake Wagner and took the death penalty off the table for Billy Wagner, procedural botches that have resulted i n rare appeals by the State, which generally has few appellate options in criminal cases.
I had thought Jake had some honor in him but then I watched excerpts of his remarks at his sentencing hearing. Performative psychopath.
Our system is way out of balance on the side of the evil psychopaths, and we can get back to equilibrium orderly or chaotically. Or just devolve into Lebanon-Balkans-Haiti.
