Results Are In: Recast Meet the Parents

Dec 9 2008 - 3:44pm

Every other Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge [1], where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar T-shirt!

Last week I asked you all to brainstorm some new faces [2] for the Ben Stiller hit, Meet the Parents [3]. I had fun reading all the ideas put forth for Gaylord "Greg" Focker including krae85 [4]'s suggestion of Jack Black. I'm also glad eegle1234 [5] thought of Sarah Michelle Gellar to play Pam, as I think that's such a great idea.

To me, the movie rests on just how intimidating (yet funny) the actor playing Jack Byrnes can be. Amanda6783 [6]'s idea for Bruce Willis is a really good one, as is lemuse20 [7]'s suggestion of Christopher Walken. Both actors totally get how to be intimidating and have great comedic timing.

But it was sundew [8]'s idea for Jack that was the hardest to resist. Congrats sundew!

To see who sundew chose, along with a new cast photo, .

sundew's cast list:
Gaylord "Greg" Focker — Jason Segel
Pam Byrnes — Elizabeth Banks
Jack Byrnes — Alec Baldwin
Dina Byrnes — Dianne Wiest
Kevin Rawley — Ed Helms
