Perfect Casting

Anyways, how about Mark Ruffalo as Peter Falk as Columbo?



Next: Woody Guthrie.

I know David Carradine played Guthrie in Bound to Glory, but I would like to offer for your consideration as Woody Guthrie:



Tom Hiddleston...he made a decent Hank Williams I think he could handle Guthrie too.



Next:



Peter O'Toole

Peter can be played by his son Lorcan



Next: Gene Kelly

Maybe, instead of Olivier...

Isabella played her mother and other film figures including Alfred Hitchcock in the Guy Madden-directed short My Dad is 100 Years Old. She also played a sort of '40s version of her, or at least her type, in the "Tales from the Crypt" episode "You, Murderer" where she and John Lithgow interact with a character who we see through his eyes as the camera, and in reflections is revealed as Humphrey Bogart through using old film clips and stills.
