: : Pat asks:
: : : Best Possible Cast - (that's difficult, isn't it?)
: : : Worse Possible Cast - (who would you NOT like to see as Hawkeye? Cora? Mauga? Alice? Uncas? etc., Scary, isn't it?!!)
: : Hi, Pat...Chris once asked us to recast LOTM, too, and I just couldn't do it. Sorry, but it's unimaginable to think of any other actors being acceptable in the roles.
: : Worst possible is easier!
: : Hawkeye: Steven Seagal (sp?)
: : Cora: Courtney Love
: : Alice: Alicia Silverstone
: : Uncas: Paul Rodriguez
: : Magua: Graham Greene
: : Duncan: Jim Carrey
: : Munro: Werner Klemperer
: : Montcalm: Marcel Marceau
: : Soldier #2: ANYONE other than Eric Hurley would be AWFUL!!!
: : There! How's that for starters?
: : DISCLAIMER: The above casting does not necessarily mean I dislike the mentioned actor/actress...just that I think they would be pretty strange choices for this film.
: : MMMM
: MMMM
: Your selections are inspired - oooh! makes me shudder! You're right, I cannot think of ANYONE who could have done as well as our stalwart cast in any of the parts.
: Pat
This is fun! Worst possible cast? You said THE WORST. This is totally tongue-in-cheek, of course.
Hawkeye: Jerry Seinfeld
Uncas: Ray Rivera
Chingachgook: Cheech Marin
(can't you just see them in the Elk Hunt?)
Magua: Gary Farmer (hilarious in "Dead Man")
Cora: Bebe Neuwirth in her Lillith 'do.
Alice: Lisa Kudrow
Duncan: David Hyde Pierce
Colonel Munro: the late Bennie Hill
Montcalm: Billie Bob Thornton(he can be anybody)
It would be a farce if anybody else even attempted to take any of our favorites place. I've accepted that premise and run with it.... Hey, how about me as Cora?
