Rob Corddry Is Your New White House Press SecretaryBy Katey Rich: 2008-04-09 19:44:49
As Oliver Stone casts more and more beautiful people in his George W. biopic W, and as rumors fly that the script is even more insane than you could imagine, it seems Stone might be aiming more for a comedy than a straight-up drama. And now that he’s cast the revered actor who will play Bush’s press secretary Ari Fleischer, it’s all but certain that there’s some funny business going on. Because the guy playing Fleischer is Daily Show correspondent and comedy sidekick Rob Corddry. Yes, in an Oliver Stone movie, a guy who had a bit part in Semi-Pro will play a major role.Seriously, is MTV News just punking us? Is this an April Fool’s Joke that just got left out in the rain? Because casting hotter-than-hot Elizabeth Banks as dowdy automaton Laura Bush is weird, casting hotter-than-hot Thandie Newton as cruel-and-calculating Condoleeza Rice is even weirder, but throwing Rob Corddry into the mix makes this the weirdest cast since, like, The Towering Inferno (and, guys, that movie had both Fred Astaire and O.J. Simpson in it). Yeah, sure, Corddry could be this amazing dramatic actor that none of us know about. It’s possible. But when you’re a guy who’s just getting started in a comedy career, why would you star in a movie about a President no one likes? And why play a guy who helped convince journalists that the President no one likes was leading us into a war that was worth fighting? OK, OK, I know I shouldn’t be getting into politics, but I’m just that confused. FYI, the roles of Dick Cheney and Karl Rove have yet to be cast. Since they’re virtually identical fat white men, and there’s only a few fat white men in Hollywood to choose from, let’s start predicting. Alec Baldwin could gain weight! John Goodman could lose weight! Hell, Sarah Silverman could play Cheney with the right prosthetics. With Corddry in the mix, anything is possible. You too could play a neo-con!
