No!

Outside of "Seinfeld" and his standup/guest star appearances on television I can't buy Jerry Seinfeld's persona outside of a professional comedian.

If Jerry did small dramatic bits on something like Law & Order, a Woody Allen or even a Tarantino movie then perhaps yes, but he has solidly crafted his image as a comedic icon, nothing more. Besides, he makes tens of millions a year from syndication off of his namesake's show.

No, but Bryan Cranston would have worked.

reply

Not sure I agree about Cranston... His image is already too badass thanks to Breaking Bad. Odenkirk, on the other hand, comes across more of a... well, a Nobody. Which is what made him so great for the part. I also believe Bob's sense and style of humor fit perfectly in terms of what the film was aiming for in that department, and would have been less effective with Cranston in that regard as well (despite the fact that Bryan can be very funny in his own right).

ADAM SANDLER COULD HAVE BEEN AN INTERESTING CHOICE AS WELL.

reply

Which Adam Sandler are we talking here? The Waterboy/Happy Gilmore or Uncut Gems/Punch-Drunk Love?

PUNCH DRUNK WITH A TOUCH OF WEDDING SINGER.

You know, I can't argue with you. That would be, at the very least, interesting.

CHRIS ROCK AS THE BROTHER...CHRISTOPHER LLOYD REMAINS AS DAD...I MEAN,DON'T GET ME WRONG...I LOVE THE FILM AS IS...I JUST CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER WHAT WE MAY BE MISSING FROM OTHER ACTORS AT TIMES THOUGH.

There's nothing about Jerry Seinfeld that would make me believe he could fight.
