Brad Dourif as Stuntman Mike?

While Kurt was great, I think Brad Dourif could have also done an exceptional job. Anybody else agree or not?

I think Brad Dourif would make an excellent maniac in a Tarantino film, but he would have been completely off for Stuntman Mike. The believability of the character comes from his presence, which Dourif has, and build, which he lacks. If anything, he'd have made a great Calvin Candie.

I really liked KR as Stuntman Mike but I wish Sylvester Stallone had been able to play the role. QT wanted SS first for the role but SS had to turn it down.
I think SS would have been funnier as Stuntman Mike.

He could have but there's really no need to speculate. Kurt was awesome.

For that matter, Kris Kristofferson could have come along with his Rubber Duckie hood ornament and done it himself.
