[QUOTE=Miller]  
It’s an _A Team_ movie. We’ve already gone way past “remotely watchable” before we start worrying about who’s going to be in it.

The sillier this gets, the more fun it is to plug in names…  
The A[lbion Invasion] Team:

Murdock: Ioan Gruffudd  
Face: Martin Henderson [okay, he’s really a Kiwi, but that’s still Commonwealth]  
B.A. Baracus: Colin Salmon [after a 3-month bulking up programme]  
Hannibal: Kenneth Cranham  
The [Woody] A[llen] Team:

Murdock: Jonathan Rhys Myers  
Face: Hugh Jackman  
B.A. Baracus: whoops! Woody hasn’t written many black characters, has he?  
Hannibal: Tony Roberts  
Amy: Scarlet Johanssen  
The A[tlantic Records] Team:

Murdock: Jason Mraz  
Face: James Blunt  
B.A. Baracus: Big Kuntry King [who already does bling like B.A., anyway]  
Hannibal: Phil Collins [who has actually acted before, in _Miami Vice_]

[QUOTE=JThunder]  
Do you mean Karen Murayama? Or Kathy Greenwood? Ms. Greenwood is taller, slimmer, and Caucasian. I’d say that she has more of the Amy Allen look.  
[/QUOTE]

thank you - I did mean Kathy Greenwood

“My A-Team Cast”\*

Hannibal: John C McGinley (Dr Cox)  
Face: Donald Faison (Turk - he’s better looking than the rest)  
Murdoch: Zach Braff (a different kind of crazy, but it works)  
BA: Neil Flynn (2nd baddest attitude in the cast but McGinley has to lead)  
Amy: Sarah Chalke (or Judy Reyes if you want a more intelligent character)

Decker: Ken Jenkins ('nuff said)

- most every Scrubs episode title starts with “My”; The rest start with “His” or “her”
