Johnny Depp is 40+ but looks too young for Lord Montague. Rememberthat his wife tells Montague that he should use a crutch instead of a sword inAct I when the feud breaks anew. What about Jack Black? He can bemade to look older easily since he has the mature figure already.

I think that you need someone more menacing and angry to playTybalt. Taylor Lautner doesn't come across like that to me. Based on recent performances, Charlie Sheen might be good, though he is a bitold. Maybe 50 Cent? What about Michael Imperioli? He waspretty good at being angry and dangerous in The Sopranos.
For the Nurse, you need someone older and fatter and bawdier. RoseanneBarr would have been great, but she's not exactly modern anymore. Ifyou've ever heard of her, I think she'd be good because she's so crass. Ican totally see her saying the things the nurse says.
