They really want Russell Crowe as Moe and Larry David for Larry.

Ben Kingsley would be great, but he's not thick enough through the torso to play Curly. How about Bob Hoskins?
So sayeth Randy Stilton, the real Stinky Cheese Man!

I'm not sure he wants to be typecast as he tries to break into the movies, but the part you just described was absolutely MADE for HHH... ;-) |
