Since the Simpsons have been mentioned, in the “Tomacco” episode the family goes to the movies to watch ‘Zorro’, and the film credits include a number of casting mismatches. The one that sticks out in my mind is:
Smart Nun…Ginger Spice
Stupid Nun…Meryl Streep
–sublight.
Ok, some of my own suggestions:
Pauly Shore as Jack Torrance
Jim Nabors as Alex (from Clockwork Orange)
Shelley Duval as Vampirella
Anna Nicole Smith as Marie Curie
Yahoo Serious as Albert Einstein (oops!)
–sublight.
Tom Hanks as Billy Madison.
Sean Connery as Billy Elliott.
Kenny (from South Park) as Charles Foster Kane.
Bob Saget as Hannibal Lecter.
Alanis Morresete (sp?) as God (oh, wait, nevermind…)
Since Simpsons has been done, I’ll turn to Futurama:
Leela as Xena
Fry as, well, any role with intelligence
Bender as Marvin the Robot
Dr.Ziodberg as Dr.Green from ER (He’s already bald)
Hermes Conrad as any Eddie Murphy role
