Hmmmph. Well, since no one else is going to do it, I’m casting Christopher Lloyd to play me. Somewhere between Doc Brown and the Klingon commander from STIII ought to do the job. 😃 ---

Even though I doubt anyone knows who I am, I want to be in the movie. Specifically, played by either Bob Odenkirk from TV’s Mr. Show with Bob and David, Joel Hodgson, or WCW’s Mike Sanders. Note: I never formally introduced myself. Here’s a quick synopsis: I am the captain of my school’s academic team (Quick Recall), I enjoy MST3K, wrestling (Hardyz and Dudleyz rule!), auto racing (Go Junior!), and good comedy, sketch or stand-up. -Brianjedi ---

Wow! Who’s been ponied up (pun intended) for my part? **hardygrrl** says Scott Thompson (of “Kids in the Hall” fame). Excellent choice! If you ever get the chance, read his “autobiography” of Buddy Cole, _Buddy Babylon_. If you read it with Scott doing Buddy in your head, it’s as funny as reading Dame Edna’s _My Gorgeous Life_ the same way - hilarious! Ah, but the ever-flattering **goboy** says Cary Elwes - rowr! Quite a cutie (ya know, for a white guy… 😉 ). Many thanks for this kind compliment. And **psychobunny** is equally as flattering by suggesting Rupert Everett. Not my type, really, but a hell of an actor and a hell of a guy, so thank you as well. Really, though - who doesn’t see me portrayed by Sean Hayes _a la_ Jack McFarland from “Will & Grace?” Couldn’t the AtGG threads be considered “Just 'Spree?” 😉 (And **Mercutio** , if you suggest who I’m surprised you haven’t already suggested, I’m afraid I’m going to have to tar and feather you at the next LA Dopefest. Don’t test me, child… 😉 ) I have no suggestions to offer myself, alas, but will let you know if I get inspired. 😃 Esprix ---

Woody Allen as **Cecil Adams.** Buck Henry as **Ed Zotti.** And just so nobody says “Anthony Edwards,” I’ll cast myself: Kurt Warner as **AlbertRose.** I’m still trying to come up with someone for **handy.** So far, I’ve considered Barry White and Jay Mohr. How about Gregory Peck (twenty-five years younger) as **Polycarp**? ---

Wow… the last few days have been shit-on- **Farmer** time, but no one has even bothered to cast me. I saw that **JDT** got cast a couple of times… do I have to talk about my foreskin to get some sugar here? ---

**Esprix** , I had to pick Scott. Everytime I read your posts that’s who I visualize. And where can I find that book? **Matt\_Mcl** , Sorry for not spelling the name correctly but you have to admit he’s pretty yummy. Thanks Esprix for the link.🙂 **brianjedi** , Joel but only if you’ll sign the Pants song. Another Hardyz fan on the SDMB. 🙂 ---

Unless Hamadryad strongly objects, in which case I’ll sigh and wait for reassignment. \*\* I look about as much like Gillian Anderson (and ACT just about as much like Gillian Anderson) as I do like Lou Albano (who is a male 400-pound skaggy-looking wrestler. And dead. Anyone see Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls just wanna have fun?” He played the dad.), so you are more than welcome to let Gillian Anderson be you. I’m sure she’ll consider it escape from a fate worse than “Hollywood Squares.” So since I bothered to poke my head in, I’ll say that Julia Louis-Dreyful was pretty close…I don’t know WHERE whomever it was got Gina Gershon. So I guess I’ll make a list. **Esprix** is David Spade, damnit. **andygirl** is Bette Midler. (pre-Disneyfication, natch) **Odieman** is Clark Gable. **Tequila Mockingbird** _is_ Angelina Jolie.\* **Eutychus55** is Harry Anderson. **manhattan** is Wallace Shawn. **Eve** is Audra Lindley. **Chef Troy** is played by the bastard son of Julia Child and Groucho Marx. **Billdo** is Oliver Platt. Note: Non-inclusion on this list just means I haven’t had my coffee yet. \*Angelina Jolie is the hottest human being in existence with the possible exception of the chick who played Callisto on “Xena.” ---
