'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie Casting Rumors: 'Grey's Anatomy' Jesse Williams to Play Jose Rodriguez?

Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele are the two main characters everyone is talking about in "Fifty Shades of Grey."

However, many fans want to know who will play other important roles too, such as Jose Rodriguez.

Jose is Anastasia's good friend from college. Ana insists that she doesn't want more than a friendship even though Jose likes her a lot and wants something more. He is also a popular photographer.

Ana describes him in the book: "He's tall. He's all shoulders and muscles, tanned skin, dark hair and burning dark eyes."

He's also very good-looking, smart, and kind, and in his twenties, around Ana's age.

"Grey's Anatomy" star Jessie Williams is one of the contenders up for the role of Jose. Though he is 31-years-old, fans say he has the features of Jose: tanked skin, tall, good-looking, dark hair, and did we say good-looking?

Williams was once up for the role of Finnick Odair in "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire." However, he revealed in August that he wasn't going to get it.

The actor is also featured on IBTimes' list of Top 10 Who Could Play Jose Rodriguez. 

Maybe the producers of "Fifty Shades of Grey" will see that Williams has potential.

The "Fifty Shades" trilogy ("Fifty Shades of Grey," "Fifty Shades Darker," "Fifty Shades Freed"), written by E.L. James, tells the story of 22-year-old recent college grad Anastasia Steele, who enters into a dominant/submissive sexual relationship with 27-year old sexy billionaire Christian Grey, and both explore Christian's world of BDSM while trying to understand their complicated relationship.

Another fan favorite for Jose is "Twilight" star Taylor Lautner.

The way James' sets it up, it reminds "Twilight" readers of Jacob from "The Twilight Saga;" hence, James' based the characters off of Stephanie Meyers' characters in her bestselling "Twilight" books.

Jose is similar to Jacob. First off, both names start with a "J." Also, both characters play the "other guy." In "Twilight," Jacob was always fighting to Bella's (played by Kristen Stewart) love. He thought he was better for Bella because he actually was part human and not cold and a vampire like Edward (played by Robert Pattinson). However, just like Ana to Jose, Bella did not want Jacob. She always chose Edward, and stuck with him until the end.

Other similarities are that Lautner is extremely good-looking just like Jose is described. He is also tall, muscular, tanned skin, and has dark hair. He could have "burning eyes," and 20-years-old, around the same age as Jose.

Another possibility for Jose is Telenova star William Levy. The Spanish actor is actually a fan favorite for Christian Grey, but he would do good as Jose as well. He might be a little too old for the part, but filmmakers could make him look younger anyway.

According to Extra TV, "Dancing with the Stars" fans went crazy for Levy. His shirtless moves last season were the talk of the ladies.

He also read the book and thought it was good.
