Who plays Bob Mueller in the movie?

[malaise]

[Bradshaw3]

1. De Niro of course

Already done it and well on SNL.

[hlthe2b]

3. Yeah... I like DeNiro

and he'd (no doubt) be happy to do so.

[GoCubsGo]

11. He actually bears some resemblance to Mueller, too.

[FarPoint]

76. That's perfect...

He has the passion as well...

[malaise]

15. Could work - close enough in height

Meuller is 5'11"
De Niro is 5'9"

[WheelWalker]

72. Gotta be De Niro IMO

[NickPeace]

113. I Agree!

100%!

[kentuck]

134. My first thought,also.

[madaboutharry]

2. Harrison Ford

[hlthe2b]

4. he'd likewise be good.

[Bradshaw3]

21. He was great as Branch Rickey

So yeah he could do it well.

[stonecutter357]

5. ice cube !

[IADEMO2004]

131. You know, this is a great pick.

Doesn't say much and just gives you that look.

[PJMcK]

6. Tom Hanks, of course (n/t)

[malaise]

17. Possible

6'

[k8conant]

24. I pick Tom Hanks also.

[RDANGELO]

102. I think Tom Hanks would be good a Chritopher Steele. Deniro as Mueller.

[ZZenith]

7. Melissa McCarthy!

Just kidding.

[Equinox Moon]

114. Ha

[CincyDem]

8. Gary Oldman or Jeremy Irons. Both have aced everything they've touched.

ok - maybe not The Fifth Element...but almost everything.

[jcgoldie]

9. Kate McKinnon

[pnwmom]

10. Well, Kate McKinnon seems pretty good at it.

[Quemado]

12. George Clooney

n/t

[Docreed2003]

14. That was my immediate thought as well

[malaise]

19. Almost the same height

This could work but I do like de Niro.

[luvallpeeps]

48. that hair!

Dapper Dan hair, and rugged handsome face.

[ZZenith]

124. "I don't want FOP, gawdammit, I'M A DAPPER DAN MAN!!!"

[phylny]

81. He's my choice! n/t

[MaryMagdaline]

13. Sam Waterston

[Siwsan]

16. Oh, that would be just TOO perfect!!

[MaryMagdaline]

20. Always thought they looked alike

[Siwsan]

23. "Law and Order - Special Prosecutors Division" sounds like a winner.

And, yes, to be FULLY transparent, I've had a very long time crush on Jack McCoy.

[MaryMagdaline]

27. You made me laugh in the restaurant

People are looking

Great title!

[MaryMagdaline]

30. Watch Le Divorce if you like Sam Waterston

Not everyone likes the movie, but I loved it

[onetexan]

77. Second that

Im enjoying all the reruns of L&O.

[malaise]

18. May be too tall

6'1"

[BannonsLiver]

46. Only a 2 inch difference

Barely noticeable. Philip Seymour Hoffman was 5-10 and big boned and played Truman Capote who was 5-3. He was great in the role but the differences in build bordered on ludicrous.

[malaise]

53. Not too much difference here

Like you I appreciate great acting but like some physical similarities.

[BannonsLiver]

58. Yeah

I just don’t think there’s a casting director in Hollywood who would bat an eye at such a small difference when the guy is a quality actor and bears a physical resemblance. That said these things usually don’t go the way we think. And I’m sure there will be more than one movie anyway. I think it’s safe to say we are living in an extraordinary time. Hopefully the movie ends the way we want it too. Like All the Presidents Men. Anyway great thread topic.

[malaise]

66. Kingofalldems has a point

Mueller will probably be in the background, although a film about him can't be ruled out.

[BannonsLiver]

79. Yeah that's also possible

I think the more complicated casting decision is who will play Donnie in whateve future movies are made about him and at this point I think it’s safe to say there will be movies.

[malaise]

83. I wish John Candy were still alive to play

Don the Con.

[BannonsLiver]

39. Oh snap that was my guess too!

[smirkymonkey]

41. Yes! Perfect!

[PatSeg]

51. Okay

Sam Waterson would be terrific.

[ananda]

22. George Clooney!

Yup

[lindysalsagal]

25. here's mine:

[malaise]

47. Who is that

I'm clueless

[lindysalsagal]

54. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1212722/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1212722/

[malaise]

60. Thanks

Looks a little too young but what do I know.

[PatSeg]

55. Benedict Cumberbatch!!!

Sherlock?

I love him, but he's too young to play Mueller.

[Roland99]

65. Makeup

[PatSeg]

70. True

I'd watch anything that Benedict Cumberbatch was in. He's an amazing actor.

[lindysalsagal]

74. With. A. Spoon.

[Laffy Kat]

85. Leave some for me, lindysalsagal.

[lindysalsagal]

87. Hey- I've never been good at sharing....

[Volaris]

94. Lol please tell me you forgot the Scarcasm Thingie...

The IMDB link is posted above for sure, but the short of it is that's

Sherlock Holmes
Dr Strange
Khan

[Roland99]

62. Yes!

[Laffy Kat]

82. Thank you.

Not a good fit but always enjoy an opportunity to look at Benedict.

[OnDoutside]

26. Shaggy in Collusion The Movie ! It wasn't me !

[malaise]

29. Bwaaaaaah

[Kingofalldems]

28. This movie would have an all star cast regardless.

[Quixote1818]

31. He looks like Sam Waterston

?w=620

[malaise]

32. Agree but Sam is taller

[luvallpeeps]

52. just needs a little squarer jaw

Mueller's hair is to die for.

[PatSeg]

57. Amazing resemblance!

[Wounded Bear]

33. Redford...

[malaise]

35. Almost the same height but Redford is now 82

Damn time flies

[Wounded Bear]

37. Last I saw he still looks pretty good...

[mchill]

34. Sam Elliot - same face shape

[malaise]

38. Too tall

6'2"

[PatSeg]

61. You are so obsessed with height!

[malaise]

80. You noticed?

[PatSeg]

107. Well........

It was rather subtle, but I can be very perceptive (for a short person that is)!

[malaise]

110. Ha

[mchill]

75. How tall is Mueller - he seems tall to me?

[hlthe2b]

99. You may be thinking Comey (6 ft 8). Mueller is 5 ft 11

[mchill]

132. No...I think it's Mueller's long face that makes me think he is tall, perhaps

[spanone]

36. Bwahahahhahahaa just posted this as a NEW POST!! Christopher Walken

[malaise]

40. LOL

Could work 6'

[Canoe52]

129. My pick also!

[RockRaven]

42. My first thought was Clooney (even though he doesn't really look like him)

A high-risk, high-reward choice that might be out of left field for some people: Russell Crowe. His performance in The Insider (although quite a while ago now) is what makes me think he could be interesting in the role.

[malaise]

44. Interesting

6' - close enough

[C_U_L8R]

43. David Strathairn ?

Loved him in Goodnight and Good Luck.

[malaise]

45. Wow - looks good

6'

[PatSeg]

63. Good choice

[mr_lebowski]

127. That would be a GREAT choice, he's a phenomenal actor, he'd nail this role like he did in

Good Night and Good Luck playing Murrow ... and pretty much everything else he's ever done.

Resemblance is definitely good enough.

[tinrobot]

49. Robert Redford

[Kingofalldems]

50. OTOH I think Mueller will be a guy in the background

that you rarely see in the movie I envision. Kind of a good guy Keyser Soze.

[malaise]

56. Good point. Maybe we should pick someone to play his documents

[PatSeg]

67. Then you won't have to worry

about how tall he is!

[malaise]

69. Bwaaaaaaaaah

[Mr. Ected]

59. James Cromwell

That'll do, pig. That'll do.

[malaise]

117. He can play Comey

He's 6'7".

[Mr. Ected]

120. I didn't realize how tall he was until after I posted!

Then when I checked, I knew immediately he wouldn't pass muster with malaise!

[malaise]

121. Well since I won't have a say

This is just fun.

[madinmaryland]

64. Who will play tRump, tRump Jr, Manafort, Cohen, Jared, Ivanka, et al.????

A cast of thousands.

[malaise]

78. This will be an epic movie

for sure

[cannabis_flower]

126. I nominate

Jim Parsons (Sheldon Cooper) as Jared.

[WheelWalker]

68. Robert De Niro

[malaise]

84. A popular choice

[Scurrilous]

71. Ron Perlman.

[malaise]

86. That's a great pick

Could work

[Scurrilous]

98. With some prosthetics perhaps. LOL

He hates Trump though, which would lend him the necessary prosecutorial gravitas.

[FarPoint]

73. Harrison Ford....

Kevin Costner is an option...

Oh, Robert De Niro....perfect choice...

[PatSeg]

111. I thought of Kevin Costner as well

Remembering his role in JFK and even The Untouchables. He can play those squeaky clean Boy Scout types so well.

[guillaumeb]

88. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

He played the Terminator.

[malaise]

89. Well Mueller is sure terminating the

Vile cretin's tenure, so there's that.

[guillaumeb]

90. Agreed. eom

[Auggie]

91. Daniel Day-Lewis!

He'd have to come out of retirement though

[mainstreetonce]

96. I agree

Perfect

[Volaris]

92. Donald Sutherland?

[malaise]

93. He's the tallest so far

6'4"

[Volaris]

95. I'm only wondering if he might be too old by now to pull it off...

[malaise]

97. Redford is for sure

[hlthe2b]

100. Mueller is only 5 ft 11

[malaise]

101. Correct

So he's too tall

[PatSeg]

112. But Mueller looks taller

Perception is often more important than reality.

[malaise]

115. I was really surprised when I saw that he's 5'11"

I too thought he was taller

[PatSeg]

118. See!!!

So in a movie, he should be cast as tall as we think he is, which right about now is VERY tall!

[malaise]

119. ROFL

I'll watch it no matter who plays him.

[PatSeg]

123. Me too

It needs to be a HBO mini series. Too much to cover in a theatrical movie.

[awesomerwb1]

103. James Woods

[NurseJackie]

104. ...

[malaise]

106. Nah

No vile cretins play Mueller

[Canoe52]

130. Perfect!

[Totally Tunsie]

105. Can we resurrect Gregory Peck?

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000060/

[malaise]

108. Ha

[PatSeg]

109. Oh, if only

He would be so perfect.

[Demovictory9]

116. someone tall with a sad face

[MyNameIsKhan]

125. DeNiro is perfect fit but keaton can play him as well...

[catbyte]

128. De Niro, absolutely. did anyone see him play Bernie Madoff? Stunning.

[bellmartin]

133. Some absolutely random person who happens to be exactly 5'11"

[Blue_true]

135. Unretire Robert Redford. nt

[milestogo]

136. Bill Murray - and they should make it a comedy.

[malaise]

137. Well it sure is fun watching him reel in the

Flippers

[Poiuyt]

138. Fred Gwynne

He's more than just Herman Munster

[Tardislass]

139. Some unknown actor in about 12 years time.

Honestly won't be able to watch anything about Trump until 10 years have passed. Much like the Twin Towers, I'm going to have serious PTSD with this administration for a while-even if our next POTUS is halfway sane. However, no need for a script writer as they can simply use his own words as no one can write anything more horrendous
