Default If UM cases were movies, who would you cast?

Inspired by the "which cases would be good made-for-TV movies" thread, IF certain UM cases were to be made into movies, who would you cast for the main roles?

My thoughts:

Tammy Leppert: travel back in time to get the young Heather Locklear

Blair Adams: Matt Damon

Dale Kerstetter: Jon Voight

Amy Billig's mother: Susan Sarandon

Cindy James: Naomi Watts

I'd pick Toby Maguire to play Christian Gerhartsreiter, aka Christopher Chichester.

Good pick!

I think Eddie Murphy could be a good Wadada.

I'd cast Matthew McConaughey as Larry Dickens! Oh wait...

Anyway, it's somewhat ironic that Dennis Farina got to host UM because he is a DEAD RINGER for Doug Heath, the guy who discovered the bodies of Doreen Picard and Susan Laferte.

Shatner would have to play Jule Caylor!!!

Have you seen the Shatner SNL skit about the Salad Bar??? Plus I can just hear the "life's pretty good" dialog in Shatner's voice.

-Jude Law to play Christian Gerhartsreiter (aka Christoper Chichester, aka Clark Rockefeller)

-Alan Arkin to play the current age James "Whitey" Bulger

-this one's more imaginative: Jason Lively, circa 1985 (the actor who played Russ Griswold in "National Lampoon's European Vacation") to play Kurt Sova

-former NFL QB Dan Marino to play con man Dan Marino

-Lady Gaga to play Liz Carmichael

I also think Betty White would be great as the female half of the Wackers.
