Does anyone besides me see a SIGNIFICANT resemblance between Bebe Neuwrith and Edie Falco? One's blond, one's brunette. But they're about the same age, pasty-faced and have a husky, lisping voice.
Edie's the better actress, Bebe has the musical talent, but really they could play the same (nonmusical) roles. Same type.
Neuwirth "played" Ann Coulter on Al Franken's new radio show yesterday. He didn't say it was fake, he pretended they were actually miking Coulter in the greenroom. But it was easy enough to realize it was a joke based on what was said. Plus you could recognize Bebe Neuwirth's voice...or Edie Falco's.

Posted: 4/2/04 at 12:16amMaybe I'm just short-sighted, but I really can't see Bebe playing Carmela Soprano or Frankie the waitress (she has the toughness, but I don't know about the vulnerability.) And I REALLY can't see Edie playing Lilith.

Posted: 4/2/04 at 4:51pmadding to what ckeaton said about Norbert Leo Butz and Adam Pascal - sometimes people mix up those two with Raul Esparza as well.

Posted: 4/2/04 at 6:11pmHeard a story once about Dame Maggie Smith sitting in a theater waiting for a show to begin when a woman comes up behind her, "Miss Redgrave! Miss Redgrave! We came to see you in Anthony and Cleopatra and you cancelled on the show we were supposed to see! Will you do it again?" To which Maggie replied with "Gosford Park" dryness: "Of course, dear. Just for you." Not one that suffers fools well, apparently.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

I've always thought you could effectively replace Betty Buckley's singing voice with the sound of just about any basic powerdrill. Cheaper too.
Kevin Spacey could be effectively replaced with just about any piece of furniture.
Mandy Patinkin could be exchanged with a cat in heat being tortured with a dull fork.
