I am still not getting the Hilary Swank comparison. I guess the whole boxing glove thing. I am easily three inches taller than she is and no where near as skinny, though I am looking into going on the Invisalign Diet. Less eating and more water.
I honestly do not know who I would have play me, but I have the uneasy feeling she would come from SNL.
budworm is a sticky wicket, still deciding who should play him. I mean, Paul Newman would do, but if we're thinking about actually making this movie, it's gotta be someone who is still working. Oh, I got it, duh, one of my all time favorite actors, Tom Wilkinson, he never, ever, ever gives a bad performance.
Now, who should play Dink and weezie? I'm thinking Meryl Streep as Dink and Sally Field as weezie.
I don't have a good feel for BleuTeuf, not even sure that I should be casting a male actor, so I'll go wild card with him and suggest a wild card actor who can play in any time period (also a Duke grad) - Jared Harris as BlueTeuf.
There is something everyman about OPK which means, you know it, Tom Hanks as OPK.
I’ll contentedly sign off on my casting in LTE: The Movie.
Really, it gets pretty tiresome signing Matt Damon’s autographs for him sometimes.
I always tell my casts when I am the director that 90% of being a good director is casting a show properly and 10% is telling your actors to "leave that in" when they make a brilliant choice in rehearsal.
Good sports day between Duke lax and Lefty.
