Oh Mr. Bean is played by Rowan Atkinson

I'd pick Alan Alda for Angus
Jenny McCarthy for Morn
Woody Allen for Nick
Wierd Al Yankovic for Holt?

I reckon Wayne Knight, Christopher Walken and either Ving Rhames or CZJ. I was trying to think like a Hollywood executive, and they can't be wrong all of the time

Casting The Gap Movie

I do not doubt for a moment that The Gap would make an incredibly good movie - I know we've all got our own ideas about who should play what character...that's the beauty of books, your mind cast whoever seems right to you. As for me? My cast list is below. The only limitation I placed on myself was that the actor had to be living.

Angus - Harvey Keitel or John Goodman
Milos - ????? - Any suggestions? Remember, he's clean & heavy-set
Morn - Heather Graham
Nick - Pierce Brosnon
Mikka - Linda Hamilton
Holt - Christopher Walken
Hashi - Dustin Hoffman
Dolph - James Earl Jones
Min Donner - Sigourney Weaver
Koina - Tia Carrera
Sorus - Isabella Rossellini
The Bill - Steve Buscemi

Likewise, I think this one is bad enough to belong in here. *shudder*

...right next to the earlier suggestion of Alan Rickman. 8O :x

(Which I actually found quite amusing, but I should at least pretend to be offended..)
