Interesting...although that makes me want to see him in the role of Butters LESS. I don't want to just see an actor play the same character over and over.
Plus, given his fascination with polka, I'd assume Butters is of German descent.

But, sorry Al-Hajj Bilal Ammar Jihad...I'm never going to buy Jack Black as Butters. :-( Agree to disagree?

What we have here is a failure to communicate. ;) I have always visualized Jack Black as Will Borden, not Butters. My pick for Butters (I'm the first to acknowledge it's not perfect) is Paul Giamatti.

C'mon! Others besides Germans have atrocious musical tastes! Otherwise we wouldn't have been afflicted with Pat Boone, Tammy Wynette, the Osmonds, Justin Bieber etc... ;)
Quantus:
I could buy Jack Black as butters far easier than Will Borden. He's not how I picture butters personally (I see as very very skinny nerd) but would not otherwise go against the character; Galeki is an interesting choice for the same reasons, but is better more proven at the timid nerd coming out of his shell bit. I could actually see Galeki as a pretty good Billy Borden if he was cast to fit the FM version and then were to grow into the more physically formidable Will as the series progressed.

Sorry, I did mean Will Borden
