Help Segraves Cast ‘D.C.: The Movie’

Posted by Mike DeBonis on Oct. 9, 2008, at 12:09 pm

Inspired by Josh Brolin's upcoming turn as George W. Bush, WTOP's Mark Segraves casts D.C.: the Movie:

Marion Barry = Don Cheadle
Tony Williams = Russell Simmons
Linda Cropp = Star Jones ("she'll need to get that gastric bypass reversed"---ouch)
Adrian Fenty = James Blake
Charles Ramsey = Morgan Freeman + 50 pounds
Cathy Lanier = Hillary Swank
Jack Evans = James Cromwell
Eleanor Holmes Norton = Cicely Tyson
Carol Schwartz = Bea Arthur

Any other ideas, folks? I mean, you gotta fill out the council for that blockbuster ballpark negotiations scene! How bout Rob Corddry as David Catania? Austin Pendleton as Jim Graham? Anybody out there got a good choice for Phil Mendelson? Oh, and Ben Kingsley definitely needs to reprise his Gandhi turn as Nat.

   Anyone else think Michelle Rhee could be played by Margaret Cho? Just me? Ok.

   Jesus Christ, why is it that it's ok to make fun of people's weight still? Hey Seagraves, was that dig at Linda Cropp really necessary?

   This is easy:

   Robert Duvall as Mendleson.

   Brian Dennehey for Tommy Wells.

   The guy that played Jackie Chiles on Sienfeld for Vincent Gray.
