here we go again...

FYI

For Natalie JAstrow you would have them same problem you had last time with the age thing---Natalie is 27 and Cox is 41--So those who point at Ali's age would be the first to point this out.

Shia Lebouf as Bryan would be intersting as he is about the right age

You're right. Courtney Cox is 41...I sometimes have to remember that the old Friends episodes I watch on DVD are over a decade old, some of them. Oh, well, whom else would be a good Natalie? Oh, I know....Jordana Brewster. She was in the 1999 TV mini-series, The '60s, and has the dark-haired, dark-eyed Mediterranean look that the character of Natalie calls for, and she's probably in her late 20s now.

I like most of mjkbncb suggestions.

Pug Henry : Bruce Willis
Maddie Henry : Keira Knightley
Byron Henry : Orlando Bloom
Natalie Jastrow : Winona Ryder (37 but looks younger)
Aaron Jastrow : Leonard Nimoy

Hmmm Haroom "Well there are Ents, and there are Ents."

ANDY GARCIA???

If he could play Jewish for three minutes and convince anybody, he'd deserve an emmy just for that.
