Totally agree. Each time I see him interviewed (or read transcipts) he comes across as just a normal decent bloke. Excited to be in it, with a natural and dry sense of humour. Its these kind of qualities that will resonate as any of the character possiblities (younger Indy, Son of Indy, random sidekick). Aren't these traits we all appreciate in Ford that come through to and add to the character already?
Personally, I still hope he's playing Indy circa the 1920's. But if he is to be the son, then why does he need to be Ford-like in terms of bulk and adventure?
Henry Sr was professorial, unadventurous and totally unromantic.
Indy shares the unromantic side (moves from gal to gal i mean) but has a hands on approach to archeology etc.
So Junior Junior, if we must have one, should I think be totally different still. A nerd, loner, maybe even with a poetic soul. Laboeuff could play this easy. Better than having a like-father-like-son affair. Its what gave the biggest payoff in LC after all. Of course, in the end, Junior Junior will come good, find his Courage and blah blah blah.
A father-daughter dynamic would have been so much more interesting.
