Fan Casting Ben Grimm in Raja Gosnell's Fantastic Four

Reed's oldest friend and a former pilot, Ben is transformed into a 900-pound, rock-skinned monster who can't control his own body. His girlfriend leaves him. Strangers stare. Only a blind sculptor, Alicia Masters, sees the man inside. With deep melancholy and a dry wit—Ben is a gentle giant whose catchphrase, "It's clobberin' time," comes from pain, not triumph.
