Perfect Casting Part Three
Dina:
Galecki is younger than Butters in SG. I think with some characterization he could play a good young Butters. Just an option, though.

And Will was 19 or so at that time. Also, Will is pretty fit from all the werewolfing and I've never heard anyone refer to Jack Black as fit.
I can't remember JB's description, but for me Jack Black is good for Mortimer. For Will...that's a tough one. I'd say Johnny Galecki, but he's my Butters and he is too old now.

Hollywood makeup artists take really old, decrepit, creaky people and make them look young all the time. Same applies with 'fit'.

I never thought of Galeki for Butters. He'd be a good fit. I'm still Team Masi Oka, but I'll take him as a servicable second ;)
Billy, I think, is someone who would be cast young & fit from the beginning, and the transformation that you see is the bad faux-goth to responsible adult.

Agreed about Billy. Masi Oka - like him a lot and I'd get on-board with him as Butters if the fact that Butters is Jewish wasn't about to (probably) become a Big Deal.
But, sorry Al-Hajj Bilal Ammar Jihad...I'm never going to buy Jack Black as Butters. :-( Agree to disagree?

Oka plays a Jewish ME named Max Bergman on Hawaii 5-0.
