Well, his character in Shawshank was originally supposed to be a red-headed Irishman (hence the nickname "Red") so Yes, Morgan Freeman can play any character regardless of description.

He's not a terrible actor, he's just got a somewhat narrow range, at least with what I've seen. Within that narrow band he's shown capacity fro some subtlety . Or at least as much subtlety as is allowed in a Comic Book show can stand

One of the few videos of Jim I've actually seen said he pegged Butters specifically as a young Weird Al. :) But since he's not so young any more, we need some fresh ideas!

Or we could just travel through time! :)

--- Quote from: Griffyn612 on July 14, 2014, 11:26:45 PM ---I think we should have a 2014 Casting Challenge, where we try and cast the show using actors and actresses that are the right age for a new show that starts filming in 2015. Starting with STORM FRONT, cast with Harry in his mid-twenties, Susan about the same, Murphy in her late twenties or early thirties, Michael old enough to have a a 12yo eldest daughter, Lea young enough to grow into her role without appearing to age over 10 years (so probably in her twenties, but looking worldly), etc, etc.
It seems hard. I've been looking for a good ~25yo actor for SF Harry, and I just haven't found one that's even remotely tall enough. It seems like a lot of actors these days are either well beneath 6', or big and beefy and playing Thor in in the movies.

I like this idea! I have previously had a hard time casting Murphy because I would always draw a blank. But recently the idea of Kristen Bell has grown on me and she is the right age (34, but looks younger) for your scenario.
For Harry...I'm going to go way, WAY outside the box. There is a reality show on DIY Network and HGTV called Salvage Dawgs. There is a kid on the show - Tay Whiteside - who is in his very early 20s and is REALLY tall. Not exaggerating - I'm pretty sure he is about 6'10" (I've met him in person). He also has a sharp, sarcastic personality. Hard to find a good picture (and he likes his beard) but maybe this will work:
That's all I've got for now.
