The crackiest idea I think I ever came up with was possibly apping Quetzlcoatl, the plumed serpent of Mayan lore, as a Vegas-level Drag Queen. "Oh honey, I'll show you devour the earth in Flames!"
Which I think is leaps and bounds crackier than the Loompas, who come in at a very close second.
But now on to the PB portion of this DE.
I've got to say that I'm very happy with my choices for all my pups. Ida came with hers, and I can see no better Loompa icon than McFarlane's Korn Kids.
It's Mike and Raph that I'm curious about. When it came time to choose human faces for them, I went with my first gut instinct.
Breckin Meyer for Mike. I remembered the smile from "Clueless" and "Road Trip" and that was that. Briefly, when it was pointed out to me that there's no real reason for either of the boys to be white, I considered Ernie Reyes Jr. but opted for Meyer because finding pictures of him was easier. Though, the meta for Reyes Jr was so deliciously hard to pass up.
Raph was originally Zach Braff because of the stony-faced cluelessness that Braff portrayed in the trailer for "Garden State". Yeah, I had no idea the actor had such a career of being a rubberfaced dork on "Scrubs" when I chose him. Lemme just say that watching the first couple of seasons on dvd proved to be painful.
An older Raph though, couldn't be played by the same face. That new face needed to be the face of the stereotypical NY thug. So that's where Dominick Lombardozzi and Michael Chikliss come in.
But! Having said that, there's no in-canon reason for these two characters to be played by the white boys I've chosen for them. So with that in mind, who would you have cast?
