Re-casting Dawn & Brandon

The re-casting of Dawn & Brandon was a MAJOR mistake. I would have much preferred to see Heather M. & Brendan Sexton return in the roles they created.

Anyone else agree?

Heather Matarazzo turned down the chance to reprise the role, so Solondz didn't have much of a choice with recasting the character (not sure if he ever approached Brandon Sexton)

Interesting. Does anyone know why she turned it down?

I thought they were perfect castings…particularly Kieron Kulkin…I almost feel like it was him who appeared in Welcome to the dollhouse.
