Zach for Ralph Hinkley...

He isn't blond...but I think he has the right level of sensitivity and comic chops to play special ed. teacher turned super hero...

What do you think?

Nathan Fillion for Bill Maxwell?

I like Zach. And he'd make a great Ralph. But I can also imagine Jesse Eisenberg in the role. I'd like to see Adam Baldwin as Bill.

Zach went blond in Thor: The Dark World.

He'd be quite a good fit for Ralph, IMO.

As for Bill Maxwell, I honestly can't picture anyone but the late Robert Culp in that role. Whoever steps in there--whether on the big or small screen--is going to have gigantic shoes to fill.

I thought that as well, until I thought about Bruce Campbell and saw him recently in Burn Notice and Ash Vs. Evil Dead. He is the only one that I think can pull it off.

Culp showed his comic skills to great effect. There's an episode in which he stutters and fumfers so badly that any comic actor would be proud to do as well.
