Would "I" get Dom DeLuise as a sidekick? (Dom could play Thomas Walsh)

I was thinking I'd cast Lee Remick (in her prime) as you, Sooooooz!

I I I I I love Lee Remick (she's a darling!)

(She comes from Ireland
She’s very beautiful
I come from Brisbane
I’m quite plain
She’s from the mountains, so close to heaven
Clouds on her shoes, stars on her chest

I love Lee Remick, she’s a darling

She was in The Omen with Gregory Peck
She got killed, what the heck
Her eyes are like gems
She’s an actress for Screen Gems

I love Lee Remick, she’s a darling

Her hair’s red, but it’s not dye
If I touched her, I know I’d want to cry
My life is desperation, but it’s only infatuation

I love Lee Remick, she’s a darling)

Persephone - Still Gina. It can only be Gina.
Simpleton01 - Richard Dreyfuss, he has that ability to play bored by it all but still captivated by wonder. You'd need someone with that kind of range.
Malibu69 - Linda Forientino, smart, sexy, tough but vulnerable, a good solid meld of the sexes.
Spidermage - Kelsey Grammer, for the erudite sophistication and intellect, plus a willingness to laugh.
Spastic Minnow - This is a tough one. I orginally considered John Lithgow for this role, who's a great actor, but he's too efette sometimes. But I have it...Heath Ledger, in his last role. Cool, slightly detached, above it all. John Denver was also considered.
Miles Aweigh - I too considered Tim Robbins, but I'm going with an offbeat choice here, against type, Brad Pitt. Regardless of Pitt's pretty-boy hearthtrob status, I think he has a lot of range and he chooses some daring and unexpected roles. He plays gentle and knowing very well actually, but he obviously understands the dark side, has a good sense of humour and he is a thinker and concerned with causes.

Yeah, Brad Pitt in "12 Monkeys" - I'll buy that.
But Malibu69 has got to be Sophia Loren.

Oh la la! Mille Grazie carissimo mio Truzziaccio! I don't have that sex appeal, but I DO have the eyeglasses!

I don't know who Linda Forientino is, but I better look her up, that description is very cool!

Now, a bit about Brad Pitt that hI thought was so funny a few years ago. I was at the time training a 20 year old in my field. She was a very odd girl. Extremely pretty, but.... I just remembered my own 20 years' being far more sophisticated. I never spent so much time with someone around half my age who was not a relative, so it was interesting to hear her world view. At the time she invited me to see the new Brad Pitt movie with her (I think it was called Meet Joe Black). I had a very small child at the time, so going out was a little difficult to organise and after a bunch of wrangling, got the evening free and .... all of a sudden she says her boyfriend wants to come also.... I thought it would be too weird, so declined. The next week she was back in my studio and I asked how the movie was and she raved at how great Pitt was, and this is what she said, totally straight-faced, "He's really talented... Death is not an easy role to play!" I thought that was just so funny!

The makeup man will be busy since Brad is already playing Jeff, and we will need special effects when we are both in the same scene.

I think Tim is a better choice, but I appreciate Chrestus' vision.

Spooney - Toby Maguire
Peggy Odin - Greta Garbo

I could be played by Jabba the Hut, which would be cool as I'm into StarWars too.

I even laugh like him. Huu Huu Huu!

Oh, no, Satsy! I'd cast an 'in his prime' John Cleese to play you!
