Latest Possible ‘Three Stooges’ Casting: Will Sasso As Moe?
By Russ Fischer/March 23, 2011 12:30 pm EST
Now Will Sasso’s name is in the mix, and seemingly for any of the Stooges, not just Moe.
THR says that the actor has " resurfaced as a likely frontrunner to play Moe, Larry or Curly." Huh? Curly, sure. Even Moe, perhaps. But THR’s wording makes the casting process sound as if it is just getting down to throwing darts at headshots taped to the wall. That’s probably a mis-characterization of where the process is — probably.
Meanwhile, I don’t know if this is even a project that people want to see. Difficult to make that call without knowing who the cast is, I suppose. But is a Three Stooges redo something that even sounds appealing, or is it just that passion project that the Farrellys have to get through so they can move on?
Anyway, there are still many possible actors for roles. Andy Samberg is evidently still a possible Curly, Hank Azaria has been mentioned for Moe, and the very unusual grouping of Justin Timberlake, Woody Harrelson, Shane Jacobsen, and Larry David have all been mentioned for Larry.
