Okay, this is a well-kicked, decomposing horse I'm resurrecting from the old Yahoo! e-list, but the premise is to find actors and such who YOU think would fit well as various members of Alpha Flight.
I've already found the first contender:
Have you seen that really crappy Dana Carvey movie, the Master of Disguise?
If you haven't, that's good -- I wouldn't recommend it -- , but I just caught the tail end of it, and at the end, they have a dwarf who looks EXACTLY-to-a-tee like Puck, Gabriel Pimentel. Unlike most dwarfs, his limbs and torso are proportionate! he even had the bald head and handle-bar mustache!! (the only thing he was missing was the club ear, but that's asking too much). And, if I judge him properly to Dana Carvey (who's about 5'10), he about the same height as Eugene. the only difference is his muscular structure, but a healthy work out could fix that (and a voice actor to deepen his voice to a nice husk wouldn't hurt either).
His filmography includes an appearance on Scrubs (as 'Mike'), and Just Shoot Me in 1997. I haven't found any pics of him (he's a VERY unknown cameo character whom has very little to his filmography), so if anyone can find a screen shot from the end of the movie (preferably without watching it), please post it. (It's after the credits, during the 'boxing dummy' scene).
Who would YOU choose for a role in Alpha Flight: The Movie? Any incarnation of Alpha is eligeble, any volume, any Flight.
(A few guidelines: treat this as if you were actually casting the movie today - use actors as they currently look, not what they did look once apon a time.)
