Well, there was semi-serious talk of other agents suggesting their own actors earlier in the speculation period because it's a nice bit of free publicity.
I'm not seriously suggesting this is the case here, but when a guy with only 4 posts suggests a hitherto completely unmentioned actor, it seems a little odd.
