Orlando Bloom
Colin Farrell
What was the first name of David's all-business older brother?
Daniel
Damon

"Linus Larrabee" is nobody's idea of a good name for a romantic lead! Fortunately, Harrison Ford played the role, which went a long way to adding some charm to the character.
Michael
Who played Linus in the 1954 version?
Humphrey Bogart
Bogart and Ford were both cast against type in the role. They both played action heroes and strong, devil-may-care types, whereas Linus is, if not a nerd, an all-work-no-play grind. Ford wore bow ties and bowler hats in "Sabrina," an uncharacteristic look for him.

"Great! See you at the altar!"

he thought he wanted to be a musician
he was in a phase of rejecting money and materialism

his fiancee
his mother
