I…what? Was this Alan Greenspan’s idea (who suggested his part be played by David Hasselhoff)? Other interesting casting calls:
• Tony Shalhoub — John Mack (he’d wanted Robert DeNiro, so, awk)
• James Woods — Dick Fuld
More confirmed names:
• William Hurt — Hank Paulson
• Topher Grace — Jim Wilkinson
• Cynthia Nixon — Michele Davis
• Billy Crudup — Timothy Geithner
• Ed Asner — Warren Buffett
• Kathy Baker — Wendy Paulson
• Dan Hedaya — Barney Frank
• Joey Slotnick — Dan Jester
• Michael O’Keefe — Chris Flowers
• Ayad Akhtar — Neel Kashkari

James Woods as Lehman Brothers? That will be a fairly challenging role. Of course, in high school I played the industrial revolution in a school play which wasn’t easy.
But who will play ARS?
With Ron Jeremy as “Cassano”.
Hilary Swank.
… and Wallace Shawn as Lloyd Blankfein …
I said it once and I’ll say it again:
HP: Bruce Willis
DF: Robert de Niro
JD: Mark Harmon
LB: Gollum
VP: Kal Penn
KL: Christopher Walken
JM: Dan Hedaya
BB: Jack Nicholson (w/beard)
GWB: Leslie Nielsen
DC: Larry David
TG: NPH
…wait…Danny Noonan as JC Flowers? In that case, Ken Lewis should be played by Rodney Dangerfield (RIP).
I won’t be satisfied unless they rewrite history to include a “John Galt” speech which dominates the airwaves — hopefully written and performed by Alan Greenspan.

Look at movie Against the Ropes and Man who wasn´t there. Tony Shalhoub is super for roles like this, I think it can fit it to him.
