Every time I watch SOR I marvel at Jack Black's performance as Dewey. I know that he and Mike White were friends and White wrote the part with Black in mind, but if that wasn't the case who else could have possibly pulled it off? Who could have been as funny, loathsome, lovable, musical and crazy like Black? I am drawing a complete blank on this one...

My "#3" key is broken so I'm putting one here so i can cut & paste with it.
He was perfect for the role. It had to be someone who we could believe as a slacker music junky and not just someone who is funny. Sandler always comes off as a meathead jock to me. He could've done this role, but only if he played it as an 80s hardcore punk type, and not as a more fun-loving metal head guy.

This film is Jack Black's magnum opus. Nobody else could do it even half as well.

shareI doubt many other people could. The part was written for Mr. Black.
