I agree that there's nothing in the description that says my boy couldn't be Butters. But I just can't see him liking Polka or being so quirky in his mannerisms like Butters. And I love Butters - he's just squattier and goofier in my image.

Well, that's kinda playing against type. Having someone sorta sexy who likes polka - it's not what you expect and that would be fun to do to Butter's character.

Well, if they played him up as sexy, too, (not just choosing an actor who happens to be sexy,) then I guess I could accept that. You're right - playing against type would be kinda fun.  :)

Eh, maybe not. (I mean, Dean Winchester is pretty quirk but sexy as heck.) I'll have to think about it. Have a nice day, Tigris!  :)
Thankies, it was a doosy, let me tell you. I was coming down off a hormonal high from starting act pics of sexy actors so what I *meant* was if he has the acting ability plus can pull of a sexy Butter, why not?

Yeah, it just sort of had to sink in a little with me, given how I've always pictured Butters but I know what you meant and I've realized that you're so right. If he can pull of a sexy Butters, why not? ;)

And just so you know, looking at sexy actors is always a good excuse for anything. Late for work? Fuzzy brain? Didn't get anything accomplished today other than some really hot daydreams? Just say sexy actors and every girl in the room will understand. ;)

Had a thought for Michael.
How about David Wenham.
He played Faramir in LoTRs.
He's tall, I've seen him in a work type shirt and he looks like
someone who might be handling a sword and/or power tools and
he has an open/honest face.

Really close and one of the best matches suggested for sure. I'm not sure if he seems confident enough to play Michael, though. Not that Michael is arrogant or anything of course, just that he feels that God has equiped him to handle anything he is called on to do. David Wenham, although awesome, just doesn't telegraph that kind of assurance. Still, he does have the openness that is so important for Michael.

Which is all why we need to get Paul Gross in on it. :D

Ah, I had forgotten about Paul Gross.

Oh, had another thought for Butters.
How about, I know I'm gonna spell this wrong, Sharlto Copeley.
The guy from District 9.  He's small and slender, dark haired and he
can do serious and silly.  After seeing him in A-Team I know he can do
crazy.  (Heck, he outcrazied the original Murdock)

Don't know him. I'll keep Butters in mind when I watch A-Team, though, even if it will be hard to make a comparison between such different characters. Still, with some actors you can just tell.
