The late Brad Renfro would have made an excellent young Anakin(anybody see "apt pupil"? his personality changes and intensity are amazing.)
Yes, he was good in Apt Pupil and McKellan too of course.
Have a vague recollection hearing Renfro's name mentioned after TPM.
I sure would've liked to seen it, but maybe he was too far into heroin by then....
After seeing Hayden vs. Jamie Bell in Jumper there's no doubt Bell could have played Anakin better.
