You know who else wouldn't be bad as Holden Caulfield?

Aaron Johnson. He'd have to do it now, though. He's already starting to look older. I guess that's what happens when you marry someone at 19.

Great question.

Jesse Eisenberg would be good. Same attitude as in "The Social Network". But I guess Holden was younger than him...but still might work.

My post would have been better served had I used the term self loathing even though its more or less the same thing when dealing with an unexamined life of a 17 year old kid.

Agreed.
The only guy who MIGHT have been able to pull it off would have been a young Leonardo DiCaprio. Some of the suggestions in here have made me shudder.
