Good call on both these, Webby!
Judd Hirsch would be my first choice but at 73 he may be a little too experienced. Rob Reiner would be an excellent choice as well...he would also be the right girth to play the role. However, at 61, he also may be a bit too experienced. I also thought of Billy Crystal but he's definitely in too-good a shape and he is also 61.
Abe is supposed to have a Daughter (whose apartment Gia and Vicky use in the movie to get away from the Westphalen house). My brain isn't what it used to be, but Abe's daughter is in College, isn't she?
I recommend Robin Williams...he can act, he can definetly do the voice and, at 57 (this July) he is the youngest of the bunch, so he would be young enough to do the sequels.
I am sure to come up with a few more suggestions but it is late and my mind is mush (even moreso than usual).
