The reasons these actors and actresses were selected for these roles:
Kiera Knightly as Abigail Williams – She can play the role as a serious person and she looks like I thought Abigail would.

Jim Carrey as Reverend Parris – He has the looks, gestures, and inflections that would be needed for this role.
Danny Devito as Thomas Putnam – He has an interesting personality and is able to act any comedic or serious role given to him.
Anjelica Houston as Ann Putnam – She is really tall and Danny is small so I thought it would be funny, and she can act it well.
Hayden Panettiere as Mercy Lewis – She can do the needed acting for the role, such as the crying and fainting.
Emma Roberts as Mary Warren – She is quite similar to the character of Mary Warren.
Brad Pitt as John Proctor – He is usually a protagonist and I imagined him as John.
Gwyneth Paltrow as Elizabeth Proctor – She has previously portrayed the same type of glum and pessimistic personality.
Dakota Fanning as Betty Parris – She can act very well and would definitely be able to take control of this part.
Charlize Theron as Rebecca Nurse – She has some of the same attitudes and acts the same way.

Nicolas Cage as Giles Corey – He can give the facial expressions and acting that would be needed for this role.
Robin Williams as Reverend Hale – I thought that he could make this movie more interesting with the way he acts.
Whoopi Goldberg as Tituba – She can make the gestures and the expressions that Tituba does and fits the part well.
Congratulations for making the cast of The Crucible!
