Mis-casting

Anyone remember the (not very well-known) mockumentary “And God Spoke”? In it they had Soupy Sales cast as Moses!

Along the same lines the object of this game is to devise some of the worst ‘alternate’ casting you can come up with for real tv shows and movies. Pick 3-5 characters from the show the previous poster names and list your cast choices (can be living or dead). e.g.

Star Trek TNG

Captain Picard - Buddy Ebsen
Data - Burt Reynolds
Counselor Troi - Rebel Wilson
Commander Riker - David Schwimmer


MASH

Darned edit timeout. Posters may also feel free to name shows for the next poster that have previously been listed. After all, the number of shows out there are finite, but the possibilities for miscasting are almost infinite!

Dr. Hawkeye Pierce - Adam West
Major Hot Lips Houlihan - Georgette Engels
Radar O’Riley - Benedict Cumberbatch
Col. Potter - Marty Allen
