Hypable put their fancast thinking caps on again for who they think could play the role of cigarette-holding, generous, handsome, and charming Augustus Waters. I love this character so much, whoever plays him would have to be phenomenal as I’m sure many would agree with me there. Is there that phenomenal person on this list? See for yourself. (Please note: this is not my fancasting list of possibles.)

I imagine Augustus as Aaron Johnson circa Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging lol
I think Drew Roy is perfect for Augustus! Drew is how I imagine Augustus.
David Lambert is exactly how I imagined Augustus. I don’t even know him, but he’s perfect for the role.
