Responding to: 3. Who would you cast for a FAKER movie?

You picked a topic that stumped the Book Club, @E.W.!

Maybe not @Logan, though–he offered some great ideas.

I think @Jade and @Zoe (welcome, Zoe!!) are on the right track by getting to choose actors who were a good fit when they were the right age but who are too old now.

Since I (like @J.R.) don’t watch a whole lot of television or movies, I’m going to go with a different type of response: 

> For the teen and tween characters, I pick all the Forum regulars to star in their breakout roles as Hollywood’s newest talent. Sorry in advance to anyone who gets the Arianna role, you’ll be typecast for life!
> For Junior, it’s gotta be GRK himself. He’s “invented” cars before (Mike Otis’s shiny black behemoth and Mr. Kermit’s tricked-out Coco Nerd come to mind), so he’s believable as the mastermind behind El Capitan. And he has 100-plus examples of his ability to make up characters and backstories, which is Junior’s big talent, just applied with more devious intent.
