New guy to play Jack! - Kenji - 08-15-2006
Sean Connery is good for Jack's father. Or...Clint Eastwood.

Abe is John Goodman. Tom Jr. is....Alec Baldwin, maybe?

Walter Matthau is dead.....
But if he's still alive, Jack Lemmon would play Jack. Surely, they are Odd Couple.

This guy is so thin, and there's something about the width of his forehead and the narrowness of his lower face that, when put together, spell "British" for me. Often it's an aquiline nose and thin-to-nonexistent lips.
There's more to it, but that's the best I can do for now.
That's about what I was going to say. It's really hard to explain the exact features that add up to "That guy is English" for me, but it's definitely there.

Judd Hirsch would make a great Abe, as would the INCREDIBLE Alan Arkin, if he wore a fat suit. Alan Arkin is thin and Abe, as we know, likes his Entenmanns.

Maggers, you and I share a brain. I always see Judd Hirsch when I read Abe. Could be due to his role in ID though, but it just fits.
