That's good. Never thought of him. I was thinking Zach would play him. Or maybe even Brian Cox playing it real straight against Louie Anderson--it would too be a killer.

If your brain was donated to science, science would return it.

sounds good too!

Cox and Busey aren't bad, but Zach Galifinakis looks much shorter than Louie Anderson even though both are listed to be 5'7". Louie looks as tall as Jay Leno who is 5'11", so father should be shorter than Zach. I think it would be funny to see some short, but bit masculine/charismatic female actor to play father. Carrie Fisher is short and was funny in The Big Bang Theory. Frances Fisher has deep voice so she could probably play father too. Kate Mulgrew has also a bit masculine jawline and voice, so I think she would be good choice.

That's a great idea that Chip's Dad has been MIA since 1983! Then he would have his family back and not deal with his Mom who clearly favors the twins.

Of course, Chip will be mad that 33 years went by, but he's more about the bigger picture than specifics, like being married to Penelope.

reply

cool. so who would you cast as his dad?
