Fan Casting Spike Spiegel in James McTeigue's Cowboy Bebop

A former hitman for the Red Dragon Syndicate, Spike faked his death to escape his brother Vicious and the woman they both loved, Julia. Now he drifts through the solar system as a bounty hunter on the rustbucket Bebop, masking his death wish with dry wit and devastating martial arts. His cybernetic left eye forces him to relive his past, and when Julia’s face appears on the bounty network, he knows it is a trap—but walks into it anyway.
