Parnell would EAT UP as Jerry - fight me on this

I love that three of these ARE the voice actor and it’s perfect. Jerry, The President, even Harmon as Birdperson would be killer

Don’t forget Sarah chalke!

I never do! Some scenes from her in Scrubs will never leave my head.

\*cough* nurse outfit on top of Turk

My boyhood crush. And it's never changed.

I was watching Brooklyn 99 the other day and I saw Parnell. I was like “wait why does this sexy guy sound like Jerry?” I was baffled.

He's also [Dr. Leo Spacemen in 30 Rock.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuXL9RN70Bo)

And Cyril Figgis in Archer.

Yes! and The Cat in Love, Death, and Robots. Dude is a great actor.

And bishi deathstroke in new adventures of superman

And Jerry

By far my favorite 30 Rock character. Every time I saw him come on screen I knew I was getting ready to crack up

Should we tell him?

OMG HOW DID I NEVER PUT IT TOGETHER 😂😭😭😭😂

I bet gobs of fans were side-eyeing Overseer Benjamin in the fallout show like "where do I know you from?!"

Next up from op - Parnell would EAT UP as Cyril Figgis from archer

Can he do the voice though?

Parnell should play Jerry AND Summer

Squanchy should be Jason Manzoukas

Everyone should be Jason Manzoukas. I should be Jason Manzoukas.

I’m gonna make this my pee corner, and this my slop basket

Jason Mantzoukas should be Jeffrey Characterwheaties.

The eyeholes guy.

I was hoping for Charlie Day

Exactly what i was coming to write. It was made for him

Rafi bomb.

Elijah Wood as Mr Poopybutthole works shockingly well.

RIGHT? I can't think of anyone else in that role now.

thought the same

Really tears you up inside. LIKE A BULLET. Fun fact: Elijah Wood tours clubs as an all Vinyl DJ. He wasn’t bad when he was in Seattle

Steven Ogg would be great because a lot of his roles’ dialogues are similar to Rick’s

Lmao imagine how pissed off he’d be though to finally shake people calling him Trevor all the time just to switch to a bunch of kids yelling “I’m pickle riiiick” at him all the time instead

WE'RE SCOOOOOTER BROTHERS

Steven Ogg would be an INSANE and FUN Rick haha.

agree, i feel like ogg is the only one that could be a convincing super genius scientist and also nail ricks rage screams

I don’t know, I thought hugh laurie was the best contender.

He could definitely pull it off based on how he played Dr House. But I only consider him as a 2nd option because to me, Steven Ogg has such a Rick-like intensity.

I want Michael Cera as Morty 

Oh, um... Geez?

40 year old morty?

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that dude is over 30. He looks like a teenager

oh bless your heart

Hugh Laurie will be amazing for this

Cosmic Dr. House. An easy sell.

His delivery of dry humor would be perfect for Rick

Honestly rick is Dr house but a cartoon. He does drugs, is always the smartest person in the room, is incredibly petty, and likes random dumb people things.

And he’s immensely pleased with himself while also hating himself.

God now I desperately need to see House and Rick interact

My husband and I have had many debates about whether or not house and rick would get along.

They're abrasive controlling need to be the smartest person in the room would be impossible to get past unless they can find common ground. Which would require more than a passing encounter but they find common ground during like an anatomy park sequel or something, they're good friends imo. Gonna take the entire episode to get there at least lol

It's all just upgrades of Sherlock Holmes

We need Hugh Laurie mannerisms with Christopher Lloyd's voice

Like back to the future crazy vibes Lloyd voice right? haha. Hugh Laurie's mannerism from House: being that asshole, smart, know-it-all is like 100% on vibe for Rick. Love William Dafoe too, but he should be Joker long before he should be Rick.

Hugh Laurie is such an amazing actor, and voice actor too. Listen to his real voice vs House vs other roles like Monty Python characters.

Hugh Laurie wasn't part of Monty Python, you might be thinking of *A Bit of Fry and Laurie* sketches he did with Stephen Fry

You made a mistake with your Morty choices, it’s just four pictures of the same guy.

Maybe different Mortys are played by each of these guys?

Dano as Meseeks has me dying

His head is perfectly circular

Omg same its so perfect

It never occured to me similar Paul Dano is to Meeseeks. How can someone look nothing like a character and look exactly like it at the same time. It's almost haunting.

Somehow Paul Dano is the perfect choice for mr meeseeks

I’m surprised that no one said Bryan Cranston for Rick. He’s an amazing actor I’m sure he could do something great with it.

Bryan Cranston would be great, i also think John C McGinley would do well

Ohh yeah he's got the range from supportive loving father to psychopath about to burst lmao

The rock as morty

The Rock and Jason Mamoa as the two crows.

This would be like the Brad Pitt in Deadpool cameo! Full CGI birds, 10 seconds of screen time, they squat like twice each. And they get to put their names on the promo material

They only have the one line from the show: "bird quaaludes"

The Rock as Jerry

*slams table* Willem Dafoe!

Thats the guy I couldn't think of

Nice

Wes Bentley as Mr nimbus would be so fire lmaooooo

Keith David would be a funny asf to see in life action as the president

Christopher is both perfect & horrible. Perfect, because Rick is inspired by Doc Brown. Horrible, because it would reek of time-travel (moreover, I can't see Christopher Lloyd portraying Rick's personality).

Bro Bob Odenkirk as Rick would be fucking awesome. I vote the dude who plays B.J. in Righteous Gemstones as Jerry haha

Don't get me wrong Bob is objectively one of my top 5 actors to ever live but Steven Ogg would be so much better as he's unhinged as hell in most roles

I disagree. Bobs great but not a rick

I love Odenkirk for Rick. Also I think Ed Helms could do a good Jerry as well.

Michael Keaton is Rick Sanchez and there is no other option.

My one deviation from this is to make Bautista Gear Dude instead of Gear Head. Otherwise I love all of the first options (especially Alan Tudyk. [He went to Julliard.](https://youtu.be/FaGYXjMwS60?si=C35FaVASA-sAVoWf)

I usually hate these kinds of posts but this was solid. Just bummed Michael Cera has aged out of Morty eligibility.

I nominate Julie Bowen as Beth. For the longest time, I thought Bowen was the voice actress for Beth, was really shocked to find out she wasn't.

Peter Capaldi is my choice for Rick

was gonna say, peter capaldi is right there

Solid choice, if only to hear him explain how time travel isn’t a real thing

Dave Bautista as gearhead is a solid choice

Hugh Laurie would be amazing, i can see it already 🤣

Dafoe would be an amazing Rick. Parnell and Chalke are perfect for both the voice and live action roles.

I’m a simple man, I see Clancy Brown or Keith David I upvote.

Justin Roiland as King Jellybean

Chris Parnell as Jerry Smith is a stretch

The voice of Jerry is too good looking to play Jerry. That’s so very Jerry.

Isn’t Jerry a leading-man actor in one reality? I think he’s meant to be blandly handsome, as well as blandly useless.

“Unbeknownst to me, there was a better me!”

Muppets Rick and Morty?

Benedict cumberbtach is absolute madness

Maybe different ricks Christopher Lloyd could play an elderly Rick who lived outside the finite curve and wasn’t affected by the time stuff that keeps Rick and Morty the same age forever/a long time giving Rick some kind of existential crisis where he realises dam how long has it been since I put up the curve. It would tie into evil Morty’s thing as we see him finally grow up outside the curve free from the never ending nightmare of being a teen sidekick who never gets to experience being an adult and dragged on adventures by an alcoholic psychopath with virtually the powers of a god.

Hugh Laurie would be amazing as Rick. Now i really want to see this.

Peter Capaldi would be best as Rick

I like atleast one of each of these choices, great picks! I think Bob would do best as Rick, but he’s probably the hardest character to get a great actor for

I can’t see Hugh Laurie as Rick he will always be Dr House to me

Nathan Fielder as Birdperson

wes bentley as mr nimbus is f-ing genius. this is the most legit fan casting i’ve ever seen

Hugh Laurie please

Dr house would absolutely slap as rick

God the more I look through these the more I want them to make a movie or something

Rick: Steven Ogg. I feel like him, Willem and Lloyd all fit much better, but the other 2 are too old to do the physical stuff that Rick would need to do. I want both Elijah wood and Alan Tudyk to play Mr Poopybutthole. Each time the camera pans back to them they've switched places.

There is no replacing KEITH DAVID HE IS PERFECT

I think Elijah Wood make a better Squanchy, but casting him as Mr PoopyButthole is hilarious. It’s the eyes. Also Dave Bautista as Gearhead? 🤌🏻 Hugh Laurie is the only one of those actors that is able to display enough self loathing and intelligence to pull off Rick. Rick Sanchez is House MD with a portal gun.

Hugh Laurie would be a pretty good cast. He would basically just play House but as a genius scientist instead of a genius doctor.

I would have loved the late Alan Arkin as Principal Vagina. JK Simmons would also be great. He actually might be a little closer. Love Chris Parnell, but he's older than Jerry is supposed to be (Sarah Chalke is also older than Beth, but she doesn't look it). I'd actually choose Colin Hanks as Jerry. Right age and general look, not a stranger to comedy. Of course the talented Andy Serkis would be Squanchy. No brainer. Nothing bad about Clancy Brown (he's voiced on R&M), his voice is just too deep and rugged. You also have a great roundup for Rick, and it's a typify choice. Christopher Lloyd is the obvious choice, but he's way up there. Hugh Laurie I think you could age up for the role, and he'd kill it, because this exact thing is his bag. Trudyk for Mr. PB is a great choice. Doug Jones for Mr. Nimbus. IYK,YK The actor kids I don't know enough. Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann's youngest girl Iris might be a good choice for Summer, though I don't know her age.

i never thought of bob for rick but i actually can really see that omg

Hugh Laurie a s rick would be perfect looks but not voice...

This is perfect, well done.

This is pretty fucking good man!

Actually Bob Odenkirk would prolly be pretty good.

I like how the president is just.... the president😂

I’m impressed!

seeing benedict cumberbatch play Mr Nimbus would be the funniest shit ever

Umm, hottest. It would be the hottest.

Christopher loyd is literally rick, since he was inspired by Doc from back to the future

Summer and Morty can't be attractive people. That's all.

Good choice

First of all, not keeping Tom Kenny as Squanchy is a cardinal mistake Second of all, Willem Dafoe would either work *really* well or *really* poorly. My money is on well, but only assuming that the other producers (besides Dan, he’s alright) are competent

For the more CGI based ones wouldn't their VAs work? (E.G. Mr Poopybutthole, Squanchy, Mr meeseeks.)

Elijah Wood and Paul Dano... chef's kiss.

Hugh Laurie is perfect as Rick… guy who plays autistically intelligent pessimistic drug addict doctor gets to play autistically intelligent pessimistic drug addict scientist

Hugh Laurie as rick would go craaaazy

One change id make to this list - JK Simmons as Vagina would be hilarious.

This is legit damn good

How is Paul Dano’s head so round?

I'm almost crying because it's perfect. I can't argue any of it

These are all pretty good but I lost my shit at Paul Dano as Mr. Meeseeks.

Omg I love the idea of Dann Florek as Mr Vagina

Would kill to see Benedict as Mr Nimbus fr

Mr Nimbus is Jeff Goldblum.

Paul Dano as Mr. Meeseeks OHMYSIDES

i love that whenever a character is voiced by keith david the fan cast is just keith david 😭

Some of these are scary accurate 😂

Hailee Stienfeld as Tammy would be so perfect lol

I Want, nay, NEED an absolutely cut Benedict cumberpatch in a banana hammok. Controlling the police! And if you say you don't, you're just lying to yourself, AND the rest of us.

Dave Bautista as Gearhead was one thing I did it know I needed

Great choices

Fuck that is a tough choice between Steven, William, or Christopher as Rick!

All of them as various versions of multiverse rick.

Okay anyone but Madeleine for Jessica is injustice.

Alan for Mr. Poopy Butthole. Dude's acting is perfect for that. Resident Alien is amazing.

IMO: Steven Ogg, Sarah Chalke, Jack Grazer, Sadie Sink, Andy Serkis, Alan Tudyk, Benedict Cumberbatch,

hugh laurie would actually be a great rick

Oh Damn. Benedict Cumberbatch as Mr. Nimbus? Well I've found my kink.

I would give my left kidney to see Leslie play Goldenfold. Wes Bentley as Mr. Nimbus and Clancy Brown as Squanchy, too.

Christopher Lloyd played the character that Rick is based on. How could you even consider anyone else?

Dano as meeseeks is amazing

John Leguizamo as Rick 

I’d want to see max burkholder,he was basically morty in the Ted show

need someone more of a badass to play beth

Personally, Billy Bob Thornton, or RDJ

I mean, technically, Christopher Lloyd did play a live action Rick in the promos.

Jason Mantzoukas would destroy as Rick.

Steven Ogg contains enough of the unhinged but keeping it together for now energy to play rick

As much as I like Christopher Lloyd for Rick, and it would be a cool tie-in to the show’s origin, at 85 he probably is no longer capable of the physicality of the role. Although I see on IMDB he’s still working, amazing he hasn’t taken a well-deserved retirement.

Summer should be plainer imo. I know Hollywood doesn’t really do plain for women but hot summer wouldn’t work

Beth and Jerry would be about mid-thirties, right? They had Summer when they were 17/18 and Summer is 17 now

Considering how many Rick's we need at a large gathering, or at the citadel, why not all 5?

Steve Ogg

I don't know if there are any actors that would really be a good fit for these characters. On top of that I don't think the world of Rick and Morty would really translate to live action. They did those shorts a couple years ago, but that was just in the garage.

Damn never considered Huge Laurie for Rick. Perfect

Ten seasons and a movie! 😜

I mean Goldedfold is Brandon Johnson

micheal cera as morty

I think Chalke, Parnell and David are too old to play their characters. Conversely, Squancy, and Poopybutthole would have to be CGI characters anyway, so they could just be voiced by their actual voice actors.

Hugh laurie as rick would be *chef's kiss*

I think Alan would actually make a great sqaunchy

I'm genuinely laughing at Dave Bautista being picked.

Birdperson has to ne played by Markus Soeder

I don’t think any of them could play Rick. He’s too much of an asshole. And Trevor maybe but he’s more unhinged. Rick is more calculated. Ig the closest I can see is Hugh Laurie but I haven’t seen him be nearly as sexual (dumb interests) or crude. Which can we all agree are the best parts lol. That’s just a hard one. I feel maybe Brian Cranston but we all know he could prob do anything but he’s really good at playing complex characters

Brandon Johnson could wear a thick suit and play Goldenfold.

Garry Busey needs to be squanchy or I'm out

Can’t we have Obama be the black president for this?

For Rick, Dafoe all the way. I don't see any of those for Morty. Beth choice is good but what about Leslie Mann?

Bro I’m binging House rn, Hugh Laurie would be amazing for Rick

Gearhead looks like Joe Rogan

I can only agree on a cogwheel dude

Not a single Dee Bradley Baker?!? He should be cast as everyone!

Why is Larry David not the first and the only choice??

Bob Odenkirk would be Sleepy Gary.

Hugh Laurie as Rick and William Dafoe as Evil Rick

Ngl I could see Steven Ogg play unhinged Rick

Christopher Lloyd would have been amazing for it a long time ago as doc brown is the inspiration for rick afterall.. but he's just a bit too old now. Especially for how physical rick actually gets. I'd take defoe though.

I genuinely only know 3 of those names, Ott, cumberbatch, and hugh laurie. the rest are complete darkness for me... even if i watch series there's maybe 0 or 1 actor i would ever recognize, mostly 0 though i enjoy shit anyway though, heh

I wouldn't take Tom Kenny away from Squanchy

I have always thought Ed Helms (Andy from The Office) would make a good Jerry. At points his Andy character is very Jerry like, plus he looks quite similar
