I personally think he would be good but before everyone starts fighting w/ me about it, it would just be fantastic to see him live and have here in the same city, as opposed to now when he's hardly ever on the same continent as me...

Deborah Harry,

I think she would do an awesome job as Madame Morrible in Wicked, or Velma Von tussle in Hairspray, a role she originated anyway for film.
jacquin Phoenix- he is dreamy anyway you look at it.
I agree with Christian Bale. awesome choice
James Gandolfini- Top notch tough guy!
