Okay, I guess I’ll cast myself. I could see **Mike Myers** playing the ever-lovin’ **Superdude**. And here are a few more: Rachael Leigh Cook as **BunnyGirl** Tara Reid as **Medea’s Child** The Guy Who Played Stiffler as **CrunchyFrog** I always pictured **manhattan** as a younger Dabney Coleman. ---

I’m terrible at remembering actors’ names, but I figure the perfect one to play me would be the one that starts out looking like a serious professional - maybe in a lab coat with a clip board… but when the lights go down, she’s a red-hot mama lookin’ for some lovin… Or maybe Vivian Vance, if she was still alive… ---

> [@](#): > > Rachael Leigh Cook as **BunnyGirl** **Dude** , I had to look her up - didn’t know who she was. Now that I have… Flatterer!

With Wayne Knight already playing **Rue** he can’t play me, which is a bit of a relief. Okay, I’m totally unoriginal AND self-centered–who should play me? ---

Ooh, I’m Vince Vaughn! [Swingers]Then where are all my beautiful babies?[/Swingers] **katie** , I think you’re gonna be sorely disappointed when you meet me in person. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Coldfire \* > \*\* > > Oh, and Shayna is MUCH prettier than Julia Roberts will ever be. \*\* I agree. She’s also smarter and has a better personality. But julia Roberts _is_ the darling of Hollywood. Just like **Shayna’** the darling of the boards. **Jack Batty** , you’re dead on with the **Snooooopy** /PSH casting. Oh, and I pictured **Coldfire** as being portrayed by Rupert Everett (I think that’s his name). Also, John Turturro as **Mercutio**. ---

**FairyChatMom** –Elizabeth Shue (cute, sweet, and smart) **Eve** –Dame Judith Anderson, only young (but still with the full weight of dignity and charm) **Coldfire** –John Glover (played the Devil in the lamentably short-lived “Brimstone”) **Scylla** –has been Rutger Hauer ever since the Nazi groundhog days…that icy stare down a scope at a varmint; besides, Hauer deserves a little shot at some comedy I’ll think of more later. Casting is hard work. ---

After looking up Tara Reid, I’m very flattered. (Not a chance in a million years I’ll look like this.) But I’m considering swapping my People Pages [photo](http://www.cinema-stars.com/TaraReid/GalleryTwo.htm)… However, I know nothing of actors so I can’t help. I need to search all of the ones mentioned anyway… ---

Two things. 1) I love this thread. 2) Magdalene? You’re a lunatic. But in a good way. 😃 I’m lamely struggling to come up with a few of these, but so far have only been able to cast: Jack Palance (but younger) as Scylla Jude Law as Iampunha And a number of people have told me that I should be played by Ali MacGraw. ---

**magdalene** , now I’m _John Lithgow_? How the hell did I go from being Vince Vaughn to Mr. 3rd Rock From The Sun? I’m only 31, not in my late hundreds. I thought we were cool with each other. Why must you hurt me? Please explain your odd choice. Unless women find John Lithgow sexy, for some reason. Then I’m fine with it. Oh, and for some reason I had Sandra Bullock in mind for **tatertot**. ---
