David Bastian to be Max in Divergent Movie?

Sources are saying that David Bastian might be our next cast member for the Divergent Movie.

Now that Shailene Woodley is officially Tris in the Divergent Movie, it's time for smaller parts to start leaking on the web. Speaking of smaller parts, how about Max?

David Bastian looks to be perfect for Max, the older Dauntless Faction leader, according to our character bio for him:

Max: (Dauntless leader), changed the training methods (Ch. 18, p. 240), older than the others with deep creases in his dark skin and grey hair at this temples.

David is relatively unknown with just a couple tv spots on his resume, but he looks very Dauntless in this picture of him with a gun!

Weigh in Divergent Fans! Is he right for the part of Max?

Comment by Alexis on January 19, 2013 at 11:21am: I never thought max was black,... no way! ;D

He's a good choice, I think.
But I'm so excited to hear about who's gonna be Christina. I heard a rumour that Jessica Sula might have been casted.. We'll see. :)

Comment by Divergent on January 19, 2013 at 11:58am: I thought he was DARK skinned because the description in the books and in this post??

Comment by dystopianlover on January 19, 2013 at 1:31pm: Max is supposed to be middle aged, not young anyway. I dont remember reading anything about his skin color...he isnt described much.

Comment by Lauren on January 19, 2013 at 6:16pm: oh i thought Max was the same age as Tobias, because they were in initiation together?? or maybe I'm wrong...

Comment by Madi Eaton on January 19, 2013 at 8:19pm: Lauren, Eric was in initiation with Tobias. Not Max. And Steele Sheen, I thought he was black, too. No worries.

Comment by Vik on January 19, 2013 at 9:11pm: I guess he's alright. I could see him as an older Dauntless even though I did secretly picture a Morpheus from the Matrix type ;)
