Well, he might not need your help, but he’s the director of the long-awaited “A-Team” movie, but doesn’t yet [have a cast](http://tv.yahoo.com/the-a-team/show/28506/news/urn:newsml:tv.eonline.com:20080324:e6f19653_e79148b4_a4c2_efae133659f1) So, who should play the four main characters? The story mentioned Woody Harrelson and Ice Cube as Murdoch and B.A, respectively. Here’s my picks: Murdoch: David Arquette Face: Ethan Hawke BA: Ice Cube Hannibal: Harey Keitel ---

Hannibal: Peter Griffin Murdock: Joe Swansen BA: Cleveland Brown Face: Glen Quagmire (“Giggity!”) Seriously, I have two set of answers. A price-is-no-option and a budget cast. Mix and match the two as needed. Hannibal: Bruce Willis (it would become less an ensemble at this point!) Murdock: Matthew McConnaghy (could play Face, but not suave enough) BA: Ving Rhames (the ONLY choice!) Face: Christain Bale (GQ good looks) Hannibal: Kurt Russell (gets the second look at any script Willis passes on) Murdock: Josh Lucas (\*always \* a low-cost McConnaghy replacement!) BA: Ice Cube (likely not much cheaper than Rhames, if at all) Face: Harry Connick, Jr. (not a bad actor) ---
