Ewan Macgregor as Lazarus.
Insufficiently rugged.
I think you have something there.
Thing is I don't know who of the current crop would fit. In his
heyday I'd have suggested Burt Lancaster.
John Wayne would have been about right if he'd had a bigger nose and
red hair. His speech pattern would have to change somewhat.
I don't see Burt Lancaster or John Wayne walking into a room wearing a kilt
with everyone else *not* laughing, though. I can *kinda* see Macgregor pulling
that off. Furthermore, I think Macgregor did about as well as older Obi-wan
as any thesp could possibly be expected to manage, especially considering the
poor quality of the material and that he had a director who doesn't really
bother with the actors. As such I think he'd have a fighting chance as
Lazarus the fighter, Lazarus the thousand-plus year old man, "Ted Bronson",
et al.
Red hair, anachronistic speech patterns, looks simultaneously boyish
and older than the entire rest of the human rest - I give you David
Caruso! <Runs and Hides
Hm. You may have something there.
Uh... no.
Would either of you guys actually pay $10 to see two stacked cross-sex
clones of David Caruso on a giant screen?
