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?

Posted: 3/17/07 at 2:40pmRoger Bart. Or was he being considered for another role?

Posted: 3/17/07 at 2:40pmwell its good they realized he was not good for the part. I think the latest choice is Hank Azaria.
#4re: Who Will Play Dr. Frankenstein???
Posted: 3/17/07 at 2:43pmHank Azaria would be wonderful.
#5re: Who Will Play Dr. Frankenstein???
Posted: 3/17/07 at 2:44pmAzaria would be great. I, too, am glad that they ruled out McCormack. One Will & Grace alum is enough.

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.

Posted: 3/17/07 at 3:11pmBut I assume he would stick with Legally Blonde at this point, no?
#11re: Who Will Play Dr. Frankenstein???
Posted: 3/17/07 at 3:15pmChristian Borle has a contract with LB I doubt he is leaving.

Posted: 3/17/07 at 3:29pmZach 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 
#15re: Who Will Play Dr. Frankenstein???
Posted: 3/17/07 at 4:06pmNot Hunter, please.

Posted: 3/17/07 at 4:08pmWhat about Norbert? I haven't heard anything about his TV deal, what's goin on there?
#17re: Who Will Play Dr. Frankenstein???
Posted: 3/17/07 at 4:11pm
I don't think he's a good fit, either.
#18re: Who Will Play Dr. Frankenstein???
Posted: 3/17/07 at 4:13pm
He just did a movie too:
"Dan In Real Life."
Norbert's TV Show.

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

Posted: 3/17/07 at 4:39pmWhy not D'Arcy James? Does he have a conflicting schedule?

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!
