Recast 'The Wire'

too late

re 1948, I see McNulty as more of a John Garfield type. "Curly top!"

Conrad, could we compromise and pick another actor from a TV medical drama -- George Clooney? Do not want to see that much Howie Mandel -- either in terms of time on screen or his butt.

Maybe Bogie would be a better Freamon xpost

McNulty - Seth Rogen
Bunk - Jonah Hill
Lester - Adam Sandler
Carver - Paul Rudd
Herc - Jason Segel
Prez - Michael Cera
Kima - Leslie Mann
Daniels - Steve Carell

David Morse (right-hand side of St. Elsewhere) could pull off McNulty

Jonah Hill is Herc

Jason Segel = Daniels. He's not averse to getting naked/almost - though presumably not as ripped as the real actor.

wrong color

leslie mann is no kima.

love the cera prez though!

Man, how much of a pussy would you have to be to get your eye pistol whipped out by George Michael Bluth?

McNulty - Seth Rogen
Bunk - Jonah Hill
Lester - Adam Sandler
Carver - Paul Rudd
Herc - Jason Segel
Prez - Michael Cera
Kima - Leslie Mann
Daniels - Steve Carell

While I don't approve of the direction this has taken, the idea of Grover as Pryz is crackin' me up.

Actually, Ernie Hudson would be good as Burrell.

I think if Grover is Presbo, then Elmo is Dookie.
