If there was ever a Wings movie made, and the characters could not be played by the actors/actresses that we have come to love in those parts, What actor/actress would you like to see playing the parts?

Janice 02-12-2004, 05:40 PM I see Rob Lowe as Joe. For Helen -- Drew Barrymore, Kate Hudson, Alicia Silverstone or Reese Witherspoon. Meg Ryan would be perfect if she was younger. I have to give the rest of the characters some more thought. Great question by the way. AngeFaitore 02-12-2004, 07:27 PM Lowell Mather: Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Devon Sawa, one of the Hanson brothers, Justin Timberlake or Will Fridle (actually, he'd be pretty good because he plays the voice of Ron Stoppable pretty well and Ron... is like Lowell). Any other suggestions for Lowell? He has to be blonde and has to play stupid VERY well. Oh, wait, did I mention Nick Lache?!? Okay, he's not blonde, but he certainly IS stupid... Janice 02-12-2004, 08:12 PM Matt LeBlanc, with his hair lightened, would be great for Lowell. He plays stupid real well. Matthew Perry, if he trimmed down a bit, could play Joe well. Ben Affleck as Joe, oh yeah. Barbara Barrie would be interesting as Fay. I can see Brian Corbett as Brian. Kevin Bacon if he were younger. Mark Addy (Still Standing) or Kevin James, with darkened hair and a mustache could play Roy. pilotguy 02-12-2004, 11:42 PM Originally posted by txplates If there was ever a Wings movie made, and the characters could not be played by the actors/actresses that we have come to love in those parts, What actor/actress would you like to see playing the parts? Well, I'm having a tough time recasting the male characters, but recasting the FEMALE characters is a no-brainer: Helen......Ann-Margret Casey....Ann-Margret Alex....Ann-Margret Fay....Ann-Margret without makeup Krista2882 02-13-2004, 12:41 AM Originally posted by pilotguy Well, I'm having a tough time recasting the male characters, but recasting the FEMALE characters is a no-brainer: Helen......Ann-Margret Casey....Ann-Margret Alex....Ann-Margret Fay....Ann-Margret without makeup :lol: :lol: :lol: AngeFaitore 02-13-2004, 06:50 AM Seriously, I don't think that Lowell couldn't be played by anybody else BUT Thomas Haden Church. Although Kevin James as Roy, I never thought of that, but he is a bit too goofy for the role. I just cannot see Roy hanging up a witch decoration and saying "Let's get a little witchy... witchy... witch-ee-tawwwh!". pilotguy 02-13-2004, 08:39 AM Originally posted by AngeFaitore Seriously, I don't think that Lowell couldn't be played by anybody else BUT Thomas Haden Church.

I just cannot see Roy hanging up a witch decoration and saying "Let's get a little witchy... witchy... witch-ee-tawwwh!". There's something else to consider here....Unlike "cartoonish" sitcoms like "The Beverly Hillbillies", "Gilligan's Island" and "The Addams Family" (funny as they are), the characters of "Wings" had real HEART and became "real people" to us....Let's face it, folks, we LOVE these characters! We see them at their best and at their worst, and we STILL care about them (and forgive their faults). When characters have that kind of an emotional impact on you, you just can't suddenly plug new actors into those roles. I can't see ANY actors being able to "get to us" the way that the TV "Wings" cast members do!

I just cannot see Roy hanging up a witch decoration and saying "Let's get a little witchy... witchy... witch-ee-tawwwh!". I think Kevin James could pull off portraying Roy because he's a natural comedian and is very good at sarcasm. The writers would write him as Roy, so he wouldn't be doing his own shtick or acting goofy like he does in his current role on King of Queens. txplates 02-13-2004, 12:10 PM I think Ashton Kutcher could play Lowell, just lighten his hair. He seems to have a certain degree of "stupidity" to all his characters.

Now the males Joe....Tom Cruise Brian...Bob DeNiro or Bob Denver Lowell...Gary Busey Antonio...Sylvester Stallone Roy...John Goodman and a bonus... Lowell's Sassy girlfriend Veronica...Mary Lou Retton AngeFaitore 02-13-2004, 03:55 PM Originally posted by txplates I think Ashton Kutcher could play Lowell, just lighten his hair.

Lowell ain't quite right without the creases around his mouth when he smiles. Oh... and Ange Faitore should play Lowell's sassy girlfriend, Veronica. nantucket_wings 03-01-2004, 08:49 AM Gary Busey ... :eyes: Loved his role as Buddy Holly .... :D Originally posted by jpnoyes I agree with that female cast.
