Well...it WAS partially a joke inspired by an observation made on a different board.

Someone noted that Roger is beginning to look like Richard Gere.

I find it interesting, though, that you took exception to that and said nothing about Cheech as Nick.

Poor Nick...no respect at all.

Leonardo Dicaprio as Gilmour.

Richard Gere as Roger

Cheech as Nick.
Johnny Depp as Syd...interesting thought. Maybe it would work.

Leonardo DiCaprio would make a great young Gilmour. There are some pictures I've seen of David around 70-73 and the expressions are just identical. Lately, however, David's reminded me of the guy who played The Skipper on Gilligan's Island.

I was struck how much Roger looked like Gere as of late initially, but, and I know I'm being picky here, isn't Gere much shorter than Roger? I really think whoever "plays" Roger has to be tall. I also think Keanu Reeves would work. Don't know why...there's not a BIG resemblence, but sometimes I see a bit of Roger in Reeves.

Cheech as Nick...that's pretty funny.

Now what about Rick? I always thought there was a similarity with Jeremy Irons.

I was watching "Dead Ringers" the other night and noticed there was a resemblance around the mouth.

Unfortunately, he runs into the same problem as Richard Gere as Roger, that of being too old to play them when they were young.

Like as if...
