What do you think... Meryl Streep to play Cassidy Hutchinson in the movie? (Original Post) WheelWalker Jun 2022 OP
She's way too old, though there does seem to be a bit of resemblance. Ocelot II Jun 2022 #1
I think you mean Streep is too old to play a 25 year old MiniMe Jun 2022 #4
Yes, that's what I meant. Streep is a terrific actress, but I don't think Ocelot II Jun 2022 #9
Definitely NOT ageist. 3catwoman3 Jun 2022 #14
I'd absolutely believe her in that role, given the right wig Bucky Jun 2022 #21
Meryl Streep could play anyone, including someone that much younger. She's just that good. hlthe2b Jun 2022 #11
Unfortunately, she's 30 years too old for the part. Shrike47 Jun 2022 #2

Meryl is good, rsdsharp Jun 2022 #3
You mean 73 year old Meryl Streep? Ferrets are Cool Jun 2022 #5
I'm not going to report you to the mods for ageism, but we should all be better than that Bucky Jun 2022 #20

Alicia Vikander Lochloosa Jun 2022 #12
She could play obnoxiousdrunk Jun 2022 #13
Maybe Allison Williams... targetpractice Jun 2022 #15
She reminded me of Meryl Streep. yorkster Jun 2022 #16
Nope the perfect casting would be Laura Dreyfus from the Netflix show "The Politician" Fiendish Thingy Jun 2022 #17
Maybe Zooey Deschanel or Meagan Fox? Backseat Driver Jun 2022 #18
Helen Mirren has the right quiet dignity to carry off this role. Bucky Jun 2022 #19
Maybe, but I was thinking Morgan Freeman. miyazaki Jun 2022 #22
Not Meryl, however, her daughters, actors Maime or Grace mentalsolstice Jun 2022 #25

it's ageist to point out that it might be hard for her to pass for 25.

If you haven’t seen the show, I highly recommend it.

If you watch Dreyfus’ portrayal of her character in that show, you will instantly know what I mean.

Second choice would be D’arcy Carden from the HBO show Barry.

Even Madeline Stowe is a big too old; very like Viola Davis doing Michelle in The First Ladies.

I never saw Julia Garner as a brunette, but definitely could handle the guy playing Meadows.
