The Results Are In: Recast Who's the Boss?

November 6, 2007

Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, 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!

Most of all, I loved the suggestions put forth this week for recasting the role of Angela Bower's mom, Mona Robinson. I would love to see all these fantastic actresses play this role! Check out some of my favorite Mona ideas:

Goldie Hawn (WhiplashGirlchild)
Kate Flannery (mamaseacat)
Sissy Spacek (Amanda-La)
Swoosie Kurtz (sfmastiffmom)
Jane Fonda (leeluvfashion)
Marlo Thomas (psterling)

Fierce ladies, all! I also like the idea of Felicity Huffman playing Angela, as suggested by jlynn122, and I think Ellen Page would make a very cool Samantha, which kersalli cleverly thought up. Overall, though, my favorite recast list this week comes from audreystar! To see who audreystar picked along with a new cast photo, read more

audreystar's cast:
Tony Micelli — Matt LeBlanc
Angela Bower — Christina Applegate
Samantha Micelli — Miley Cyrus
Jonathan Bower — Cole Sprouse
Mona Robinson — Shirley Maclaine

I agree with Liz4aker. I don't think Christina Applegate is the right choice for Angela but the rest of the recast is great. Congrats audreystar.

That's a great recast. I always thought Tony Danza should've been a relative of Joey's on Friends. So Matt LeBlanc would be a great recast as Tony Micelli.

I love Matt but Christina almost seems too conventionally pretty to play the part of Angela. I cant think of who else could though--and I love the rest of the cast. I think its funny that one of the Suite Life twins got picked! Cole was the lucky one I guess!
