What would be an odd role or movie for an actor/actress to do?

Rosie O’Donnel as Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady. She would have to shave for the role.

Arnold Schwarzenegger as Ghandi

Betty White as Linda Lovelace in Deep Throat.

Jack Nicholson and Charlie Sheen in a remake of The Outsiders.

I can’t get my head around Jack’s Johnny telling Charlie Sheen’s Pony Boy to “stay gold”.

@Adirondackwannabe . . . great. now i have an erection.

@Blondesjon I don’t know if I have Betty’s phone number but I’ll look.

Christopher Walken as Tammy the lovable animated cupcake in Hayao Miyazaki’s latest tale of love and loss Baker’s Delight.

Robert DeNiro as Arthur.

Tom Hanks as a ‘bad guy’, which he has done in Road to Perdition (where he was a “good” bad guy) and The Ladykillers, which as I recall seemed stuck somewhere between farce and drama.

Tommy Lee Jones as Tootsie.

Mel Gibson with Adrien Brody’s part in The Pianist

Woody Allen as Batman

Elijah Wood as Michael Jordan in Space Jam

People were floored and shocked when it was released that Heath Ledger was going to be playing the Joker in the Dark Knight. Everyone thought Christopher Nolan was insane and Ledger would make it suck.

Now? Its one of the best portrayals of any role in recent history, and won an academy award posthumously, which had only been done like once or twice prior, and not in decades.

It would depend on the actor or actress. For example, it might be odd to see Robin Williams in a straight drama role or George Clooney in a screwball comedy.

@marinelife – Clooney has been in some silly comedies: Oh Brother Where art Though, Burn After Reading.

@marinelife And Robin Williams has done a few drama roles. Insomnia, One Hour Photo.

I would really like to see Tom Cruise as Godot.

It would be really awesome if Lindsay Lohan were Dali Llama.

Daniel Radcliffe as Hermione Granger

Chris Rock as Barack Obama in the film entitled “F@*#kin Hopeless”

Sir Anthony Hopkins as Evil Knievel

Jay Leno as Hannibal Lecter

Robin Williams, in his coke days, doing Hamlet.

Jack Nicholson as Bob Keeshan.

Lindsay Lohan as St. Joan. She’d have to go back to the red hair.

and bind those puppies

Charlie Chaplin as James Bond

Clint Eastwood as the lead in Black Swan.

I think anyone playing in Lolita would be and is awkward. Otherwise Clint Eastwood and Michael Ironsides in I love You Phillip Morris

I might add that Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was an odd movie altogether

John Candy and Chris Farley in a gay version of The Nutcracker.

@King_Pariah Lindsay Lohan would have been perfect as Lolita.

Anne Hathaway as The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Stephen Hawking (okay he’s no actor…so sue me.) as John Rambo

Kathy Bates as Catherine Tramell in Basic Instinct! heck ya! :)

Michelle Rodriguez as Rose in Titanic.

Also, Aarnold Schwartzenager as Larry in “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry”

Tom Hanks as Hannibal Lecter. I think he could pull it off if he really wanted to.

Dan Aykroyd as Jack Torrence in The Shinning. My second favourite Hollywood smile after Morgan Freeman’s. He definitely has dark, unplumbed depths.

Brad Dourif as Quade in Total Recall. Yes he could!
