05/18/2005: And since I'm mentioning Pete...
I was trolling A Perfectly Cromulent Blog to pin down that quote about Bruce Campbell, when I noted that Pete mentioned a report (the source credits Variety for the story) that Kelsey Grammer has gotten the nod to portray "The Beast" in X3, the long awaited sequel to X-Men and X2: X-Men United.
While I tend to agree with Pete that Grammer's going to be used as a voice artist, dubbing him for either a gymnast who'll actually do the physical acting or for a completely CG Beast, I can't shake the feeling that it would certainly be..... um.... interesting to see Grammer decked out completely in blue fur to do the role himself. Hey, if they could do it for Rebecca Romijn-Stamos and the blue scales.....
I must confess myself heartbroken, however, that in the film's message board casting thread nobody has nominated Bruce Campbell to play the role. Indeed, noone's mentioned Bruce for any role in the movie (I may have to make an entry to that effect just because....).
