With him the movie would be just so-so, maybe a 2 star film. With someone like Depp or Dicapprio it becomes a 3-4 star potential.

He's a good supporting actor, but the director of this movie is probably looking for someone bigger.

See that's the problem, Connick could be the perfect person for it, but for the whole fact that he's not as big as DiCaprio means he's not gonna get the part... How do they expect him to be that big if they don't give him a role he's born for?
DiCaprio is a good actor, there's many movies of his I like (minus Titanic), but you don't cast someone as a star of a movie, because of how big they are, they cast them because of how well they will play the part...
Casting someone based only on their celebrity status could make the movie a complete flop... Ever seen Gili?
