Fan Casting Dan Dreiberg in David Hayter's Watchmen

The soft-spoken, middle-aged son of a banking magnate who has let himself go both physically and spiritually since superheroics were outlawed. Retired into a life of books, birds, and quiet loneliness, Dan is pulled back into the world of masks when Rorschach arrives with news of the Comedian's murder. As the conspiracy deepens and his old partner Hollis is brutally slain, Dan must rediscover the confidence—and the righteous fury—that he thought he'd buried forever. His arc is the rediscovery of purpose through violence, love, and impossible moral choice.
