Stunt casting you'd LOVE to see

What are some stunt casting opportunities that you'd love to see happen eventually?

I'd love to see Alice Cooper as Lonnie or Dennis in Rock of Ages (or really, just about anything- he'd be an interesting casting choice in a lot of shows).

Also, I'd love to see John Malkovich do The Narrator in Rocky Horror somewhere.

Easy. John Goodman as Edna. Also Edward Norton in Streetcar. And it's technically not stunt at all but I think Norbert should play Bobby in Company.

Used to be Carl Magnum. Now I'm acting for food.

Again - I think it's important to distinguish STUNT casting from STAR casting...

Very true, Craig. Stunt casting is something like Tony Danza as Max in The Producers or Donny Osmond as Gaston in Beauty and the Beast. Sometimes, it works (Donny) sometimes it doesn't (Tony).
I remember back when Young Frankenstein was lacking, Jack Black was offered Frederick or Igor, whichever one he wanted, by Mel Brooks himself. That's stunt casting. Although, he could have pulled off Igor, he still wasn't right for either role.

But it seems we're talking more about STAR casting. I LOVE the idea of Jim Carrey in LITTLE ME!!! I've been wanting to see him on Broadway for years and that would be the perfect vehicle for him. He'd never do it, though. He demands far too much money.
