What a cast!!!
A favorite pastime of mine is casting the roles of my family and friends in the movie of my life. I use a complex combination of physical traits, past roles of the actor, and perceived personality. I realize you probably haven't heard much about this flick yet. It is still in early early pre-pre-production. Anyway...on to the dreamcast! Let me know if you agree or disagree with any choices. There's still time to change most of them, as contracts have not been finalized. If you aren't on the list, it's not because you aren't important enough to be in the film. I just haven't figured out who should play your complex role yet.
Me: Anthony Michael Hall or Neil Patrick Harris (someone w/3 names)
Kara: a young Audrey Hepburn or Vivien Leigh or Evangeline Lilly
My Dad: Bruce Willis
My Mom: Joan Allen or Meryl Streep
Kara's Dad: Tommy Lee Jones
Kara's Mom: Dame Judi Dench
Sarah: Mary Stuart Masterson
Easy: Rob Thomas (yeah the singer, maybe he can act too) or Adam Sandler
Krissy: Meg Ryan
Victor: Nic Cage
Keith: Larry Hagman (circa I Dream of Jeanie days)
Julie: Tea Leoni
Mason: Brent and Shane Kinsman
Richard: Duane "The Rock" Johnson (after he drops about 100 lbs. of muscle)
Brad: Kevin James (need an athletic big man, and the King of Queens can MOVE)
Tanya: Eva Longoria
Trey: James Marsden or Ian Somerhalder
Darby: Kara votes for Mayim Bialik
Ty: Chad Michael Murray
Troy: Tobey Maguire or Peter Sarsgaard
Elizabeth: Bridget Fonda
Frankie (my neighbor): Bernie Mac
Sherie (Frankie's wife): younger Sally Field
Jelene (co-worker): Leah Remini
Ben (co-worker): George Eads (CSI guy)
Kyle M: young Ron Howard

Add your suggestions, and lets get this project greenlighted. Or greenlit? Whatever.
