Re-casting for "The Re-run show" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I’ve been seaching for cast look-alikes and I have come up with a few, does anybody agree with me that the casting for The Facts of life Rerun show is off the target? Who would have been better, for re-casting? Who are the best look a likes, that should play for the “Facts of Life” re-run show?

Casting:

Charlotte Rae- Rosie O’ Donnell (in a red wig)
Jo- Eliza Dushku (has a tough attitude)
Blair- Bethany Richards
Tootie- Penny Bae Bridges
Natalie- (I couldn't find a match)

They're not that very good, but there is not many actors that are young, that fit these characters. Does anybody else have other facts of life girls look alikes?

Actually, I don't mind whether they look like 'em or not (well, except for Tootie bein' black, lol). I think it's hilarious that Natalie, Jo, and Mrs. G are bein' played by guys!

I agree, I think that the whole thing looks hilarious and that guys playin the girls parts makes it all the more funny. That the whole point of the show tho, is to parody old shows...lol
