Clue is one of my favorite movies. I’d thought it would be fun to recast it. Here’s the rules. 1. The plot of the movie is still the same as the original. 2. You can make two lists. The first only with actors that are currently living, and at their current age. The other with any actor, living or dead, at whatever age. 3. The only actors not eligible for either list are those that were in the original cast, whether in their original role or a different one. 4. To avoid confusion, use Wadsworth to refer to the character originally played by Tim Curry, and Mr. Boddy for the character originally played by Lee Ving. 5. List as few or as many characters as you want to. ---
