Well, din’t really know if you’d call it a _game_ per se, but maybe the mods can come up with a place for it.

Anyway, the premise is, you’ve been assigned to cast an actor to play a specific person in history. All _kinds_ of history.

For instance, let’s pretend I’m casting for a film called “The Don Knotts Story”.

First actor I would call to audition might be _this_ guy: [http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/Drummerboy49/600full-steve-buscemi.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/Drummerboy49/600full-steve-buscemi.jpg)

So, then someone else comes along with a better choice, etc. etc… and however many people agree on the best choice, that person wins and gets to put out the next casting call.

Thanks

PS: I’m gonna go ahead and report this so a mod can check it…

Looks like a game to me … so I’ll move it to the Game Room.
