Who Will Play Dr. Frankenstein???

As we know, the role has not been "officially" cast. Rumors had it that Will McCormick of Will & Grace was their hope now, but I just heard that he is a no go.

So, who else do you think could land the coveted role?

Roger Bart. Or was he being considered for another role?

well its good they realized he was not good for the part. I think the latest choice is Hank Azaria.

Azaria would be great. I, too, am glad that they ruled out McCormack. One Will & Grace alum is enough.

Ooh, I'd love Azaria in the part.

Who told you that Eric McCormack was a no go?

#9

That is so funny, I was just thinking Azaria would be a good fit.

I also think Christian Borle could be a very good fit.

But I assume he would stick with Legally Blonde at this point, no?

Christian Borle has a contract with LB I doubt he is leaving.

Zach Levi [Kip on LESS THAN PERFECT, use to love that show] was suppose to reprise his role from the reading, but due to a sitcom he dropped out, if his sitcom pilot goes under, I wouldn't put it past him to return

The problem is that Pilot Season isn't over until end of May, and by then, it will be too late, so, essentially, Levi is out.

I know Borle won't be able to do it, I was just saying I think he'd be a good choice.

Hunter Foster would also be a great choice I feel, tho, it might be a little awkward to compliment your sister on stage for her huge knocker and fall in love with her

Not Hunter, please.

What about Norbert? I haven't heard anything about his TV deal, what's goin on there?

Posted: 3/17/07 at 4:11pm

I don't think he's a good fit, either.

He just did a movie too:

"Dan In Real Life."
Norbert's TV Show.

Hunter or Christian would be great, but hey, we know why they won't work out. But that other Hank guy, hmmm

Azaria would indeed be a good choice.

Zach didn't play the role in the reading, it was Brian D'Arcy James.

Why not D'Arcy James? Does he have a conflicting schedule?

He would also be a good choice

Azaria, YES!

Or if Cloris is gonna reprise Frau Blucker, why not have Gene Wilder reprise Dr. Frank? Or maybe, no, maybe Gene could play the Gene Hackman blind guy role - YES!
