Armie Hammer as Christian Grey(33 of81)
Open Image ModalCopper hair, strong build, steely gray eyes ... Armie Hammer would make the perfect Christian Grey. He's 25, just the right age to pull off 27-year-old Grey's air of success and boyish charm, and he can go from serious and sexy smirk in a second.
Backups: Ryan Gosling, Michael Fassbender, Chris Pine, Henry Cavill (credit:Getty)
Elizabeth Olsen as Anastasia Steele(34 of81)
Open Image ModalOlsen breakout role in "Martha Marcy May Marlene" proved she can play frightened and confused like a pro. But it's her piercing blue eyes that seal the deal -- darken her hair a few shades, and she is not-so-innocent recent college grad Ana.
Backups: Dakota Fanning, Saoirse Ronan, Alexis Bledel, Emma Stone (credit:Getty)
Evan Rachel Wood as Kate Kavanagh(35 of81)
Open Image ModalAna's inquisitive roommate Kate has strawberry blonde hair and a fierce attitude. Wood often plays older than her 24 years, but would make a believable mature recent college grad with sex appeal.
Backups: Carey Mulligan, Mia Wasikowska, Blake Lively, Ari Graynor (credit:Getty)
Michael Trevino as Jose Rodriguez(36 of81)
Open Image ModalYoung photographer and college student Jose adores Ana and desperately wants to be more than just friends, but the arrival of Christian Grey solidifies his place as a pal. "The Vampire Diaries'" Trevino has proven he can play tortured, and his good looks make him a nice threat for Mr. Grey.
Backups: Taylor Lautner, Penn Badgley, Mark Salling (credit:The CW)
Michael Keaton as Ray Steele(37 of81)
Open Image ModalAna's stepdad Ray is ex-military and likes the simpler things in life, like baseball and fishing, but he's got a soft spot for his little girl. Ray's role isn't huge, but Keaton could easily pull off playing the reserved, protective pop.
Backups: Ed Harris, Bryan Cranston, Jeffrey Dean Morgan (credit:Getty)
Mary Steenburgen as Carla(38 of81)
Open Image ModalAna's mom Carla is a hopeless romantic, but also fairly unlucky in love. Ray was her second husband who Ana stayed to live with when she ran off with #3. Now on #4, she's hoping her daughter won't make the same mistakes.
Backups: Patricia Clarkson, Marcia Gay Harden, Teri Hatcher (credit:Getty)
Jimmy Smits as Jose Rodriguez Sr.(39 of81)
Open Image ModalJose's dad and Ana's dad Ray were old army buddies, reunited when their kids became friends at college. Jose Sr. also desperately wants Ana and his son to get together, and Smits can play convincing in his sleep.
Backups: Danny Trejo, Edward James Olmos (credit:Getty)
Susan Sullivan as Grace Trevelyan-Grey(40 of81)
Open Image ModalChristian's mother Grace -- a pediatrician who adopted him at the age of 4 -- is smart, sweet and very high society. Sullivan's poise would be perfect, but it's her ability to play sadness and fierce maternal instincts that would come in handy.
Backups: Susan Sarandon, Joan Allen (credit:Getty)
Stellan Skarsgard as Carrick Grey(41 of81)
Open Image ModalCarrick is a successful lawyer and businessman who makes his family's best interests a top priority. He's soft spoken, but still has presence -- Skarsgard's soulful eyes would definitely come in handy for the more emotional moments.
Backups: Harrison Ford, Victor Garber (credit:Getty)
James Franco as Elliot Grey(42 of81)
Open Image ModalChristian's older adopted brother, Elliot, is a good time guy and a real ladies man -- Franco could pull off both -- who's always giving his little brother a hard time for his single status ... until Christian meets Ana.
Backups: James Marsden, Zach Gilford (credit:Getty)
Lucy Hale as Mia Grey(43 of81)
Open Image ModalChristian's little sister Mia has always been the only woman who can give him a hard time and get away with it. Lucy Hale could play the energetic brunette in a second.
Backups: Leighton Meester, Emmy Rossum, Nina Dobrev (credit:Getty)
Christopher Meloni as Taylor(44 of81)
Open Image ModalChristian Grey's most trusted security man, Taylor is ex-FBI and the strong, silent type ... but he reserves a smile here and there for Ana.
Backups: David Morse, Bruce Willis (credit:Getty)
Helen Mirren as Mrs. Jones(45 of81)
Open Image ModalChristian's housekeeper Mrs. Jones is also a mother figure of sorts, keeping his swanky penthouse home tidy, cooking all meals and keeping the refrigerator stocked with his favorites.
Backups: Cybill Shepherd, Jane Seymour, Julie Andrews (credit:Getty)
Sharon Stone as Elena(46 of81)
Open Image ModalChristian's Mrs. Robinson -- the woman who welcomed him into the kinky world of BDSM at a very young age -- needs to be a predator, but still sexy in her older age. Sharon Stone fits the bill.
Backups: Ellen Barkin, Meg Ryan, Morgan Fairchild (credit:Getty)
Colin Firth as Dr. Flynn(47 of81)
Open Image ModalDr. Flynn is the voice of reason in Christian's life, and they have more than just a therapist-patient relationship. Flynn is a confidant and charming in his own right.
Backups: Clive Owen, Ralph Fiennes, Guy Pearce, Robert Downey Jr. (credit:Getty)
