Casting my Life

[bcholmes]

I asked Jason the other day about who he'd cast in the movie version of his life. He immediately stumbled on Mr. Sharkey. "I think only Mr. Sharkey can play Mr. Sharkey." I suggested Ving Rhames, even though Mr. Sharkey isn't black.

I brought up the same question with Siobhan, and we decided that John Cusack would play Casper. John's a bit old for the part, but so what. We haven't reached agreement on Axel. My suggestion of Hugh Laurie was met with icy stares.

Mind you, I think Stephen Fry would play Jason fairly well. Casting Siobhan has proved to be something of a challenge, 'cause there aren't all that many physically strong punky-dykey actresses working in the Hollywood system.

Continuing the "even though zie isn't black" theme, Grace Jones comes to mind for Siobhan.

Make the whole cast black and see what happens.
