Judd Hirsch would be a good choice for Abe. He is a very good actor. I remember him frm back in the Taxi days How about Howard Stern as Abe j/k------Mark

I think Judd Hirsch or Rob Reiner would be fablous as Abe. What's Judd up to these days? I'm thinking he'd probably be available.

Unfortunately, I have ballooned up to 225 pounds (on a 6" frame) so I am officially putting my name in for the role. I figure they can use CG to shorten me up a bit and I'll be perfect.

Are you bald? Never mind . . . that can be dealt with.

Judd Hirsch could certainly capture Abe's character, I liked the part he played as Jeff Goldblum's father in Independence Day. He'd have to do a 'Biggles' though and put on some pounds. Maybe we should start sending him lots of Entenmann's.

I was wondering who Judd Hrisch was...and now I know!

I was actually thinking of an actor (don't know his name) that was in Indepedence Day as well, but not Jeff Goldblum's father. I was thinking of the Jewish guy that works with Jeff Goldblum at the cable company. Know who I'm talking about? he's a little ecentric in ID4, but I think he might be a good Abe.

Harvey Fierstein?

Harvey Fierstein?

That was him. Harvey also was on Broadway in "Hairspray". He played the mom, and he did a fantastic job!....IMHO......but as Abe.....I would just picture him in a sparkly gown and high heels......:eek:

I had thought the actor who played the lawyer on NBC’s Kidnapped last season would make a great Abe. I finally got off my butt and found out his name is Ricky Jay. He’s a Brooklyn born Jewish-American who in addition to his work as a character actor, is a professional slight of hand artist.

And speaking of Kidnapped, I had thought that Jeremy Sisto’s character Knapp had a kind of Repairman Jack vibe (except for the fact that he didn’t disappear when the FBI showed up).

Yeah! I can see him as Abe.

I saw Kidnapped a little while ago on cable channel. Jeremy Sisto was cool.

He's a bit small, so I'm not sure, but did anyone see The Mist or Infamous? Toby Jones is who I have in mind - he certainly is capable of it, even if he's slightly off in the visual description.
