FXMastermind will be played by The Horned Rabbit, since he is currently at loose ends and the two are nearly indistinguishableā€¦ -XT ---

Unfortunately I would probably be played by Rosie Perez with Eddie Murphyā€™s Buckwheat voice dubbed in of course(because compared to Ms. Perez, Buckwheat is downright melodic.) ---

I donā€™t think Iā€™m castable, so I would play myself, the way John Wayne did. Note to **TubaDiva** : Why _donā€™t you_ write the music?
