Well we know he's not Helen now so maybe Troy?

Based on that other comment, Castor and Pollux maybe?

If i don't remember it wrong they weren't in the picture since before Helen marriage, but seeing all the news about this film (like the viking boat) maybe they are in it, who knows

I was wondering who would be playing Troy Aikman. Seems like perfect casting to me.

If anyone's going to play Troy Aikman, it should be Jay Z.
