What actor would you pick that you think could fill the shoes of an actor from the past... maybe either remake one of their movies or portray them in a movie about their life. For instance, I have said several times that I think if anyone could remake "It's a Wonderful Life" today, not changing the script or anything... I think Nicholas Cage could step into Jimmy Stewart's shoes, no problem. Clint Black might make a great Roy Rogers. Any others?

Funny you should bring this up. My family and I were talking about the movie "Arsenic and Old Lace" earlier. Now we all agreed that Robin Williams would be good as "Teddy" but I also think John Goodman could do the role as well. It was the Cary Grant role that came to a problem. We were thinking Johnny Depp could play the role quite well but others did come to mind. I think though Depp would do it very well. He can do the same type of facial features that Grant had.

Thanks :) "Arsneic and Old Lace" along with "Father Goose" are two of my favorite movies. i could picture Depp in both those roles by Cary Grant.

Bingo! Tim would be perfect. I knew Nicholas was wrong but trying to think of a replacement was hard because Jimmy could be sweet and honest and tough all at the same time.

No Jim Carey is not sweet enough.Maybe I mean he doesn't have that boyish charm Jimmy had. But Jim Carey is our Jerry Lewis.
