Who do you think should play Nigel Farage?


It'll have to be some comedic chinless wonder able to do pantomime villain with bimbling stupidity, David Mitchell or Martin Freeman perhaps?

It'll take a lot of talent and I'm not sure we've got the stock in Britain to pull it off well enough.

Any thoughts on the matter?

Considering the intended audience is Intellectual Morons, all the actors should be from a group home for the Intellectually Challenged. Cumberbitch fits in.

I don't know who the intended audience are meant to be Satan but I do know that the movie is due to come out at the height of Brexit and so tempers will be fired up on all sides.

These here boards will be a battlefield I should think!

The writer seems serious enough, their only other screenplay is an adaptation of 1984 and so if this isn't a piss-take we might get a view into the political machinery which made Brexit possible.

The director has done some Doctor Who, Sherlock and Black Mirror along with other fantasy stuff and so I genuinely can't say if this is going to be comedic or not Sammy.

I like trying to figure out what senile grannies are saying when they are discussing Columbo.

It's even better than Columbo itself (Which is always awesome!).

Now Paul Ryan plays Nigel Farage, I must say that he is a reasonable lookalike. Good casting.
