Posted: 10/28/05 at 4:56pmIf they made a movie of DRS, what celebrity do you guys think would be versitile enough to play Norbert Leo Butz's part, assuming that he isn't a big enough celebrity for the movie. Any other Brad Oscar fans that think he should have been Franz in the Producers movie???

Posted: 10/28/05 at 4:58pmyou do mean a musical version of DRS right? cause the musical is based on a movie with the same name, but with just no music, starring Michael Caine and Steve Martin.

Actually, the film version from the eighties was actually a remake of another film called, "Bedtime Story."
As for your question, I think that no one else could replace Butz (I didn't see the show, but I have the cast recording.)

Posted: 10/28/05 at 5:07pmSince it is total fantasy, why not just insist Butz play the role. Or maybe one Steve Martin.

Was gonna say... there is a movie...
But yea, Nobert is perfect in the part, he does such a great job. I dunno who could replace him.

I usually don't do this, but...
Dane Cook could do it.

Brad Oscar was offered the part of Franz but had to turn it down because he was signed on to play Max on Broadway. I'm a huge Brad Oscar fan, but I think the producers may have made a smart move by getting another name like Will Ferrell.

on the line of dane cook...
stephen lynch, I think he'd do a much better job. He's really funny and can sing well too.
Also, I agree with Jack Black more than anyone, he has that craziness about him that would make it work well, and he can also sing.
