Roger Bart should play Corny in the new movie! He`d be PERFECT in the role!!!!

and if not him...Norbert Leo Butz....and if not him Stephen Lynch...although he`s gonna be too busy with Wedding Singer!

Why?

and people get all uptight about who the casting directors cast.


personally:

Ewan Mcgregor and Hugh Jackman would make fine Corny's.

Id love to see Amy Sedaris, Parker Posey, Joan Cusack or a lady of SNL cast as Prudy.

Cameos by John and Ricky and Marc and Marissa etc.. in minor roles.

and unknowns for the rest of them.

I do think Roger would be good. But Stephen?


I dunno, I just dont see Corny as a huge comedic role.

Out of those three, I'd say the most unusual choice for Corny is Norbert.

I still say Ewan MacGregor. He's got that charming smile that would be perfect for Corny.

Don't kill me for saying this but, i can really see Conan O'brien playing Corny Collins. I don't know why, i just think he would be funny.

someone on the boards once mentioned Donny Osmond in the role, and although it's a "corny" idea, I can't seem to think of anyone else for the part.

I think Ewan McGregor or Hugh Jackman as mateo said. they both would fit the parts well, and bring in some more money for the already celebrityfied movie.

I've always thought that Donny Osmond would be perfect.

Although I'm not a big fan of Donny, I think that he would be really good in this role. He might still be doing B&B at the time the film starts shooting, however.

I am going to start a DONNY OSMOND FOR CORNY COLLINS campaign.

I have to admit, I would have never thought of Donny Osmond, but it sounds like perfect casting!

I was under the impression they announced Ryan Seacrest for Corny.

LOL announced as in "someone on the other theatre board wanted it to be true so it must be."

[VonTussleGirl]

Donny Osmond would be perfect.

[mateo]

Posted: 6/27/06 at 9:36am

Im suprised their are so many Donny supporters. To bad I think hes tied to Beauty and the Beast.

[JohnBoy2]

Posted: 6/27/06 at 9:57am

Donny Osmond is the first name for any of the roles, that I would be happy to see.

I honestly don't agree with Hugh Jackman as Corny Collins, just a personal thing. However, Donny Osmond sounds good to me. If he is tied to something else, that stinks... he was even a game show host, so that would be funny to see him as Corny. Anyway, I think that they are going to go with someone that is a well-known game show host, just because they would fit the bill. I realize that this isn't a game show, but it's still a TV personality. However, I think I would actually throw up if they used Ryan Seacrest.

[JohnBoy2]

Well, Ryan Seacrest is the most famous television host there is.

No, Bob Barker. Bob Barker for Corny.

...They shouldn't do that. Ryan Seacrest will look the same age as some of the Council Members. They need someone older. And I too like the Donny Osmond idea.
