After all, Anthony Hopkins played Hannibal Lecter.

Except Dr. Lecter had an insouciant charm, unlike creepy Jared.

I was thinking more along the lines of PeeWee Herman. Too bad Leslie Nielson died. He would have been a great Pence.

Then who would play the Obama's for the transition? Denzel is too old now.

18. Cast the Kardashians as the Trump women
Sat May 27, 2017, 01:29 PM
May 2017

Kris Jenner as Ivana
Kim Kardashian as Melania
Khloe Kardashian as Ivanka
Kourtney Kardashian as Marla Maples

Either Paul Sorvino or Vince D'Onofrio as Donald Trump
and Christopher Serrone (he played the young Henry Hill in Goodfellas) as Jared Kushner

For the rest of Trump's inner circle, cast anyone who's been in a crime movie within the last decade.

For the Trump men, we'll have to seek out people with a solid track record of playing criminals. I wonder if Al Pacino would do it.

It is a pic of Jared smiling. Sorry couldn't just paste the picture. Parsons could totally nail this role.

Agree that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is great as well.

A preliminary post for suggestions and then a poll post for the final cut. Do one a day for the major characters until the movie is cast.
