Hoskins would be awesome! It's a shame Ricky Gervais isn't 30 years older....

I really like the Michael Caine suggestion. His "prissy-ness" in "Miss Congeniality" brings his Brit-ness and his humor to the forefront. Okay, the height and the weight aren't right, but his talent could carry it off, I think.

Okay, if I can't have Alan Rickman, I'll be okay with Michael Caine. He certainly could tell the military stories . . . .

It sort of makes me wonder who would be the voice of Robin Masters? Kelsey Grammer? He has a really rich, dramatic voice.

Don't you hate it when someone has your idea before you do? I was all proud of myself for thinking of Bob Hoskins and, what do you know, SelleckLover is all "been there, done that"!!!!

Oh well, great minds!!!!!

Okay, I've got it. If it absolutely can't be the origonal cast, How about Phil Collins as Higgins?

Coops, what an idiotic, stupid, and moronic idea!

The person playing the oh-so-British Higgins HAS to be another Texan!

I nominate Randy Quaid.

John Hillerman is only 76...........unless he is ill.......I'm sure he could pull off Higgins again.

Mr. Hillerman's health is in question, but it's all speculation. No one knows for sure. One thing that is known is that he's firmly retired.
