You have by now, no doubt, seen the Daily Beast's take on Madoff: The Movie. Frankly, we think their casing is all wrong. Madoff seems much more Seinfeld's Jason Alexander to us (though we love Sam Waterston as Noel). But we don't want to impose our jaded views on you when it comes to Bernie entertainment. We are certain you can cast this thing better than The Beast or Dealbreaker. Have at it!

Jessica Walters as Ruth Madoff for obvious reasons

Casey Affleck and Scott Caan (i.e. the two brothers in the Ocean's 11, 12 & 13) as the Madoff sons... Not sure about Bernie.

@7 - "That's 'R' as is 'Hi,I'm Robert Loggia', 'O' as in 'Hi, I'm Obert Loggia', 'B' as in 'Hi, I'm Bert Loggia', 'E' as in 'Hi, I'm Ert Loggia'..."

Bernie Madoff = Dustin Hoffman, obviously.

Eu ainda vou comer as quatro vadias, filhas do Walter Noel. Se a Mamae e os Maridos quiserem assitir, eu ate deixo... A Bianca Haegler vai ficar para sobremesa...

Angelina Jolie as Erin Burnett. John Goodman as Mark Haines. Clive Owen as David Faber.

You people must all be blind, Wesley Snipes is the only one who can play Bernie Madoff.
Posted by guest , Apr 22, 2009 3:40PM
Nestor Serrano for the part of Dick Fuld!

Hey 17 -- help me out here, I've only been watching the telenovas for about a month and my habla Espanol isn't habling all that well just yet.
Or is that Portugese?
Posted by guest , Apr 22, 2009 3:44PM
Mickey Rourke. He's back, baby!
Posted by guest , Apr 22, 2009 3:58PM
yo 21 - that's Portuguese holmes, its a language the Noels understand..they understand they will get screwed back bigtime for all the troubles they caused and twice for good measure for posing as rich socialites and all their snobbery! Its easy to be an elitist poseur when Daddy is Bernie's bag man isn't it Marisa?

Bridget the Midget as Ruth Madoff
Hamburgler as Bernie Madoff
Hermey (Elf from Rudolf) as Gheitner, perhaps Deep Roy if you really want to creep the shit out of people.

while he lacks the star power of the other folks suggested here for Bernie, how about Brian Cox? He played the evil CIA boss who killed himself in the Bourne Supremacy.

Charlie Gasparino should play Bernie. Who else?
Posted by guest , Apr 22, 2009 6:58PM
Minni Me is available.
Posted by guest , Apr 23, 2009 10:29AM
Obviously Bernie should be played by the Count from Sesame Street.
