The Curious Incident Of The Dog At Night-time

Question 3

If I had to cast one actor to play the protagonist in this novel curious incident... written by Mark Haddon. I would try and find actors who have already have experience playing disabled people , because this book stars a young adult , who is trying to solve the mystery of his neighbors dog death. The protagonist in this story suffers from a mild case of autism. I only have one actor in mind and that is Tom Hanks even if he's now much older than the protagonist in this story , he would fit perfectly in the role of the hero, because of his brilliant performance in Forest Gump where he plays a young man trying to find himself , and he also suffers from disabilities.
