Yikes. I blame the tired. It's apparently going around.

Its the second time I've done it in this threat, this week. Sorry :-/

--- Quote from: AndiSue on June 11, 2014, 02:04:05 PM ---Yeah, he's kind of young and pretty to play Butters. He's just now 30. Also, I hate to harp on the height thing, but he's 5'10". JB is specific about Butters height - I could give a couple inches leeway, but not 7" (and therefore average height).

They are almost certainly going to have to shrink down the dramatic height differences in the story, if only for the practical considerations of having to frame a shot with all these people for conversations.
--- Quote ---I still really like Johnny Galecki for Butters, but if not him then maybe David Krumholtz?

I like it. Galecki has the personality, but his bone structure is a little more round-faced than I picture Butters. Krumholtz is just as good for personality, a bit more stereotypically jewish which is a plus I suppose, and more along the lines of the lanky build I imagine

Yeah, I understand about the height differences and it not being realistic. I certainly don't expect a 6'8 or 9" actor to play Harry nor a 5'1" actress to play Murphy. But I feel like the proportion and "look" should be there for characters JB has specifically given height info for. So, like, you shouldn't have a 6' Harry and a 5'10" Murphy. And some people *look* shorter or taller than they actually are. For example, in another group someone suggested Katheryn Winnick for Murphy. I love her, but not for Murphy. She's only 5'6", which should work, but to me she *appears* too tall to be tiny but fierce (I would also argue she is too gorgeous/hot to be cute-as-a-button, but that's a different conversation.)
So, someone 5'10" *could* play Will if he looked stocky and was paired with a willowy (not necessarily taller) Georgia
