Weā€™d been negotiating with a 1983 Harrison Ford to play me. Unfortunately, he was not intested. A 1949 Peter Lorre has been cast instead. ---

I will be, as a default, played by Renee Zellweger, but sheā€™s gonna have to put on some weight. However, if Elizaberth-Taylor-in-her-prime is free, that would be jesā€™ fine. Regardless of the fact that we look nothing alike. ---

After considerable entreaties, I have decided to allow myself to be portrayed by [Rob Zombie.](http://therealmtoys.com/wordpressorg/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/rob-zombie-thumb-500x494.jpg) What would really immortalize the Dope for all time is if we could commission a special extended-length Jack Chick tract featuring Doper characters. Iā€™d love to see what Jack could do with **Diogenes** and **Der Trihs**.
