So DUers

[malaise]

Who plays Schiff in the movie?

[CatMor]

1. Edward Norton

[lunatica]

30. I agree!

His politics are right up our alley too! He’s a quiet liberal activist. He gives his parents credit for educating him by being an example.

[FarPoint]

2. Kit Harrington

Because he's easy on the eyes....I know...I just couldn't resist...

[Jade Fox]

3. Michael Sheen

[dewsgirl]

27. I thought he may be too short, I was wrong. They are about the same height.

[KPN]

4. No kidding. That thought crossed my mind yesterday,

and is simply being bolstered today. I’m surprised that I am as much impressed by him as I am. Not that I thought or think he’s a lightweight. Far from it, but still.

As for who? Got me — I’ll let Hollywood casters figure that one out.

[malaise]

6. One of the best attributes associated with the really brilliant

is the ease with which they present complicated issues.
He's also very easy on the ears.

[hlthe2b]

5. Chris Meloni probably could (former Detective Stabler on Law & Order SVU)

[malaise]

8. I remember him

[hlthe2b]

9. He has a similar soothing voice too

[Bonx]

7. Rich Hall from SNL

[SouthernIrish]

10. Michael Keaton

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

11. Colin Hanks

Smart, a little goofy-looking

[Floyd R. Turbo]

12. Nice call!

[malaise]

13. Wow!

Great pick

[Leghorn21]

14. YES, Bozo!!

I love this kid!!

[dewsgirl]

31. Yes, perfect. Athough in my head every time I see him, I think of

his role as Travis on Dexter.

[guillaumeb]

15. You are all completely wrong here.

The only person to play Schiff is Arnold Schwarzenegger, in full Terminator costume.

[malaise]

18. ROFL

[guillaumeb]

19. Consider Schiff as the Terminator,

walking through the halls of Congress, as the GOP clown posse runs and hides.

[mainstreetonce]

16. Kit Harrington

"You know nothing Donald Trump"

[ElementaryPenguin]

17. Might be too mainstream - but how about Tom Hanks?

Tom can Schiff's sincerity and patriotism across.

[scheming daemons]

20. Too old to effectively play Schiff.

[Brother Buzz]

28. Tom Hanks is a whopping four years older than Adam Schiff

[malaise]

21. Could work

Might work

[Brother Buzz]

26. Check out Tom Hanks' son, Colin

[malaise]

29. See #11

[Brother Buzz]

32. This SF Giants fan watched a short film he did, but didn't make the Hanks connection at the time

Here's a short bit on it; the film is behind a paywall.

Colin knew nothing about the "Crazy Crab", but I guarantee his native SF Bay Area father remembers.

[malaise]

33. Will watch later

Thanks

[mahina]

22. Oooh good question.

Mark Ruffalo?

I’ll be thinking about that in quiet moments at work today and if I get a really good one, will respond. I’ll also check back here.

Hmmm

[malaise]

23. Hi there

[mahina]

36. Aloha malaise!

[Talitha]

24. Gary Sinise?

I've always liked him.

[VOX]

34. He's a conservative Republican.

I doubt he’d be too keen to play Schiff.

Although he doesn’t support Trump, he nevertheless founded The Friends of Abe, Inc. [FOA] in 2004, which was a support and networking group for politically conservative members of the Hollywood establishment. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia received reimbursement for giving a speech at a FOA fundraiser in 2012. Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter, Michael Steele and Mark Levin have also met with Friends of Abe, as have political operatives Frank Luntz and Karl Rove.

As of January 2012, the organization had more than 1,800 members. In addition to Sinise, Pat Boone, Jon Voight, Kelsey Grammer, Kevin Sorbo, and Scott Baio have stated that they are members of the organization.

Friends of Abe couldn’t attain tax-exempt status (have to be non-partisan for that) and was dissolved in 2012.

25. Leo DiCaprio

He'd be awesome in the role, and his star-power would help sell the movie.

35. Jake Gyllenhaal
