Recasting a Live-Action Simpsons series - Springfield Elementary

[@BryanSeeker]

Who shouldn't I miss for the last video?

[@freddevonport6514]

Any of these reoccurring gems: Officer Lou Office Eddie Sideshow Mel Kearney, Dolph & Jimbo Miss Hoover Kent Brockman Bumblebee Man Luigi Dr Hibbert Apu

[@FLAMEandICE_]

How did u over look Otto man?

[@braedendoak4573]

Otto man

[@waltonvelvet]

Kent Brockman, Otto Mann, Apu, Dr. Hibbert, Professor Frink, and Sideshow Mel should take priority in my opinion.

[@WaterFlamingo]

Otto Mann and Sideshow Bob.

[@ethantravis8378]

i mean john cena as duffman is pretty perfect.

[@gersonribeiro374]

I love that for J.K Simmons as superintendent Chowmers, he didn't even had to change the picture because J.K Simmons is just so perfect for the role!!!!!!!!!!

[@knightofthefallen7416]

He may be a Scottish stereotype, but we Scots love Groundskeeper Willie.

[@Logitah]

I imagine quite a lot of you have a relative (or a parent) like him. 😄

[@Stonecutter334]

And the guy who voices him isn’t even Scottish. Almost gave up on the Simpsons after what they did to Apu. Woke idiots. Thats why it’s called acting! You want a documentary on India then watch that.

[@bestpenis2014secondplace]

Yep as a fellow Scot 90% of older teachers in my university sound like him

[@SeanEnglishHD]

He’s racist.

[@SeanEnglishHD]

[@williamporter3806]

J.K. Simmons is great at whatever he does, but Dean Norris (Breaking Bad's Hank Schrader) was the first one that popped into my head for Chalmers.

[@RaymondStone]

If Conchata Ferrell didn't pass away, she could've made a good Lunchlady Dora.

[@timrob12]

Great choices for Willie and Chalmers. Love it. Also, in the final video, you should definitely include Kent Brockman.

[@IamBookerTsucka]

Honestly I’d love another animated fan cast if possible dude, futurama maybe 🥺

[@thehumanturret3253]

I need to see a live-action steamed hams with Ed helms and jk Simmons

[@MikeyC92]

I thought as Willie was a "stereotypic Scot" you could go for a non-scot that looked the part and mimic the accent but you absolutely nailed it with Graham McTavish! He is perfect for the role and would nail it.

[@rainer1980]

Because The Simpsons premiered while The Wonder Years was still on the air, I always got the impression that Millhouse was modelled after Kevin Arnold's nerdy best friend, Paul Sorvino a.k.a. Paul Pfieffer from WY because they do look strongly alike if your compare photos.

[@lukaspatrickson4776]

Ed Helms is absolutely amazing casting, seeing he already played Principal Krupp in the Captain Underpants film.

[@Jay-Da-Giant]

Hey Bryan, nice job on the casting. For the last Simpsons video, I hope you can cast Apu, Manjula, Cletus, Duffman, and many other Simpsons characters you missed. Also for your new casting, I hope you can do a recast for a Multiverse Cinematic Universe of Power Rangers based on the Original shows and the Boom Studios comics.

[@joja8774]

Apu-Aziz ansari Cletus-Jason lee (watch my name is earl) Duffman-Patrick warburton

[@karldomogalla2058]

Cletus should be played by Theo Von, but it might require him to cut his mullet.

[@OH_MY_DOGGG]

Jan Hooks is so good. I cant even believe it she wasnt indian.

[@twinpeaksfan929]

Matthew Lillard as Otto Oliver Platt as Mayor Quimby Cheri Oteri as Miss Hoover Bob Oedenkirk as Kent Brockman Brian Tyree Henry as Dr. Hibbert

[@aidanjowett5788]

Otto, Dr Hibbert, Professor Frink, Abu, Snake, Fat Tony, Cletus, Mayor Quimby, Bumblebee Man, Kang and Kodos..

[@SeanHunterMusic]

Seeing J K Simmons doing the steamed hams segment would be gold!!!

[@danielladahoui888]

I knew EXACTLY whom you were gonna go for Superintendent Chalmers!

[@Robman92]

With these castings I really do think a live action Simpsons could work. They should atleast do it as special one-off episode Btw you missed the lunch lady!

[@mocano401]

He also missed Otto

[@thephonelad992]

That's because her voice actor unfortunately passed away

[@Robman92]

@@thephonelad992 that’s sad to hear, I didn’t know, but she wouldn’t be voicing the live action actor so that wouldn’t be a problem in that regard

[@DannyCoombs709]

@@thephonelad992Edna’s voice actor has been dead for a decade but he still casted her

[@RaymondStone]

Conchata Ferrell would've made a good Lunchlady Dora if Ferrell too didn't pass away.

[@TheNotoriousOne229]

Should definitely do a King of the hill cast one day

[@justincoleman3805]

I’d love to see Pamela Adlon play live action Bobby.

[@martabachynsky8545]

I actually met a guy that spoke exactly like Boomhauer. It was at a Renaissance Faire (in Waxahachie, Texas), and he was asking for directions. I could not understand a thing he was saying and just said, "I'm sorry, I don't know where it is".

[@gerardmcquade]

snake and fat tony are the ones i want to see most

[@OptimusPhillip]

Well, Parker, I made it. Despite your directions. Ah, Mr. Jameson, welcome. I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon.

[@boxculture]

Yes! I guessed Superintendant Chalmers!

[@blatherskitestudios2278]

I’d still love to see your fancast of the Addams Family!

[@BravoKnuckle]

Kent Brockman, Apu, dr. Hibbert, Troy McClure, Rainier Wolfcastle, Hank Scorpio

[@HuigbertsGamed]

I really wish to see Apu and Agnes Skinner so we'll have the entire live action cast for Hit and Run and Steamed Hams

[@GarfieldofBorg]

I don't think that I have seen all of your videos on your picks for casting a live action version of the Simpsons, but I would like to know who you think would be a good actor to play a live action version of the mysterious (18-19 year old teenager?) house guest, Roy, from the episode "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show". Roy is my favorite "Simpsons" character who is not a member of the core Simpsons family.

[@johnellison3030]

This one was very good. Could you please do South Park. I'd like to see that one as well.

[@MetalHeadReacts]

Jane Lynch was my first thought for Ms Crabapple

[@lijh]

Daniel Von Bargen would've been perfect for Dr. Chalmers. RIP.

[@NormanNorthman]

I really like Ed Helms as principal Skinner.

[@qqqqqqtonymyers]

Wendi McLendon-Covey as Krabbapple

[@chriscorsello]

Include one of the most unknown re-occurring characters- GILL !!! I dare you.

[@laceymchardy7286]

That's who I was thinking!

[@lewismcintosh8029]

Hi Byran, great video - really loved this series on Live-Action versions of The Simpsons. I would to see more interpretation of more characters in the future including: Duffman, Sideshow MEL, Mayor Quimby, Abu; Kent Brockman, Otto the Bus Driver, Doctor Hibbert and Fat Tony. There are PLENTY of other characters I didn't mentioned, since there were over several dozens characters that are complete icons throughout the cartoon series. So keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to more fancasting videos.

[@TravisRichey]

This is great. I called Willy and Chalmers, but even as you revealed all the rest I gave a nod every time, like, "yup, that's perfect." Your knowledge of actors is crazy! ~Trav

[@ladiesman217sun-luc-dong5]

The next fancast I'd like to see you do next is a Recasting for the upcoming Five Nights At Freddy's movie and the rest of the franchise. Main Characters: Charlie Heaton *Stranger Things* as Mike Schmidt Violet McGraw *M3GAN* as Abby Schmidt Chloë Grace Moretz *The Addams Family* as Vanessa Christian Bale *Thor Love And Thunder* as Henry Emily Willem Dafoe *Spider-Man No Way Home* as William Afton Scott Cawthorn obviously or Tom Hanks *ELVIS* as Phone Guy The Missing Children: Jaeden Martell as Gabriel Christopher Convery as Jeremy Raegan Revord as Susie Jackson Robert Scott as Fritz Lexi Rabe as Cassidy The Animatronics: Tony Todd *Candyman* as Freddy Fazbear Matt Vogel *Muppets Most Wanted* as Bonnie The Bunny Kaley Cuoco *Harley Quinn* as Chica The Chicken Johnny Depp *Pirates of The Caribbean* as Foxy The Pirate James Brolin *Lightyear* as Golden Freddy

[@qownsqud3207]

You should venture in the realm of anime live action castings

[@mattnunn5934]

It would be interesting to see your take on Resident Evil characters, but using the characters as they are in the games and not the live action films/series versions.

[@scuproductions]

I can already imagine steamed clams with JK and Ed

[@berniedavis6676]

Ms Hoover, Duff man, side show mel, the sea captain, bumble bee man, kent brockman.

[@runicspyder]

Groundskeeper Willie is an amazing character lol got a special place in my heart for him as someone of Scottish descent Edit: plus all the characters are stereotypes lol

[@twinpeaksfan929]

Christopher Guest as Dewy Largo

[@iconoclast137]

rex linn as the superintendent would be amazing

[@nimravus01]

Bob Newhart as Hans Moleman.

[@kacasper2]

perfect casting this time!

[@TheWitherBear]

I love the adult casting, I think they're all pretty spot on

[@SportyPompano]

ed helms is absolutely perfect hahahaha i love this

[@SportyPompano]

also jk simmons, thats perfect, got the hairstyle rn, and he would yell skinner perfectly

[@devilskull6768]

You have to do cletus and mayor Quimby

[@truthinlovewithlevi]

I demand to see steamed hams with Ed Helms and J.K. Simmons.

[@thogthemighty7960]

Here I thought you were gonna cast Ewen Bremner as Willie, but goddamn does Graham work so much. Also happy someone else knows him primarily from The Hobbit and not Outlander.

[@sageturmelle]

Perfect choice for Groundskeeper Willie. 👍

[@shayZero]

Willie was perfect, best casting yet

[@Hackersaurus05]

You forgot lunchlady Doris and Otto.

[@shadetreetoolman2047]

Conchata Ferrell as Lunch Lady Doris Sadly she passed away.

[@apmahardhika]

man we need ur james gunn's superman casting

[@aidanjowett5788]

J.K Simmons as Chalmers genius !

[@amikdhaliwal4873]

[@DoubleDowner]

Every video... every pick is 100% spot on...

[@prastarkeepers]

Get me pictures of Steamed Hams!!!

[@mirjamhallden]

Now that you've done Nelson, you have to do Jimbo and his gang

This series is so good! You could do. Way more than one more video!

[@nupt9473]

I'd love to see your takes on Otto, Martin Prince, Apu and Manjula

Recast Jim, Kearney, Dolph, Apu, Duffman, Sideshow Mel, Snake

[@tosenstardom2316]

Wolfcastle McBain

[@paigelarson9279]

I think Ed Helms or Chris Parnell would be perfect as Skinner

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

That dude is totally groundskeeper willie.. but who’s Otto

[@DandyLion2024]

Don't forget: Otto Mann Apu and his wife Jasper Beardly Kent Brockman Duff Man Disco Stu Eddie and Lou Herman Hermann Just to name a few others

[@coryfunk959]

Otto the bus driver

[@dr.diamond9868]

"Next up let's tackle a student" that sounds wrong out of context🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@iconoclast137]

alison janney is a brilliant choice

[@FantasticBeasts2024]

David Bradley would be funny as Willie too

[@drsambojones]

Professor Frink (also thank you, this series is amazing and I love it and I want you to do all the other animated shows too please)

[@lopaka76]

I know this is just a dream casting, but it's being done well enough that I'm upset that it isn't being done. Lol

[@lawnmowerdude]

Otto is one I have to see.

[@woltews]

Auto, hans moleman , dr Hilbert . linal hutz, dr nick , the judge , apu

[@christopherarriaga9076]

At the end when I heard Duff Man I immediately thought of John Cena. Maybe not the best casting, but I think he could bring the intensity that character needs, oh yeah!

[@MichalKaczorowski]

How about Apu?

[@metalgrinch]

If this movie was going to be made, it's long passed its time, sadly. If it came out when the actual Simpsons movie came out, with a good script, it would have been LEGENDARY. I believe it could have been done right and featuring ALL of these characters to some degree. A good 2 hour story with a bit of family interaction and adventure featuring Bart as the lead, forget it, a billion worldwide at the very least.

[@analuizamachadofranca]

In 2023 the New fancast Danny Phantom Live action: Judah lewis as Danny Fenton(Danny Phantom) Jenna Ortega as Sam Samantha Manson Caleb mclaughlin as tucker foley Katherine McNamara as Jazz Fenton Emilly blunt as Maddie Fenton John krasinski as Jack Fenton Sugestion the New Cast Danny Phantom Live action 👍🏻

[@mikebrown1906]

He one to cast Gil: I think that one should be non other than Ed O'Neil, as Al bundy he played the part of a down out on his luck guy so well I can really see he as good old Gil.

[@loganielsomething7218]

Great pick for Ralph. Wyatt McClure was my first thought for him too.

[@huliobeebop]

Disco Stu, comic book guy, Otto, Hans moleman, Gil gunderson and fat Tony

[@AXISpresident]

SPOT. ON.

[@davidchalmers2504]

Dr Hibbert, Apu, Lionel Hutz, and Troy Mclure. Aside from them, that’s everyone.

[@Welshwarrior85]

I wonder who could play McBain 🧐

[@sageturmelle]

Also, if the rumors about Disney being interested in doing a reboot of their lesser known about movie The Rocketeer are to be believed, I would love to see who you have in mind for the role of the main star of the movie, the love interest, the main antagonist, etc.

[@nachomiranda589]

OK, this round was perfect.

[@chupbaca1]

The characters are you have to do is sherie and Terry , duff man ,apu, chief wigem,the bullies /jumbo / Kearney and the other One, principal Skinner’s mother, Martin , mill housers mom and Nelson’s mom and that’s all

[@seanelmlinger2052]

Hmm interesting, but hmm. This may for thi Simpson s in smash bros

[@matthewsmith2298]

Bill Burr as Groundskeeper Willie. He would steal the show. His comedic timing and energy would be perfect IMO. Would need to grasp a half decent Scotish accent. But I have heard him attempt one on a podcast and he wasn't that far off. So I have no doubt he could hit it out of the park with some practice.

[@rayanthonyrobles5162]

Good Lord, Bryson Robinson catching strays from you Bryan 😂🤣

[@jl-fy3zj]

Graham McTavish was the first one I thought of looking at Willie.

[@jamescaldwell405]

Could you recast Graggle Simpson next?

[@spartanknight2976]

Martin Prince has been missed. He shows up a bit as the seasons go on. He is one of Bart's classmates and like Lisa is smart for his age. As who to play him I will go with Mitchell Berg. The actor has played a smart teen before in Nick's Side Hustle. So he be a good fit to play Martin Prince if The Simmons was ever to do a live version. However that's just my option.

[@nickkurtz512]

Your casting was good but I don’t know about Ed Helms as principal Skinner and JK Simmons as superintendent Chalmers. I don’t know who I will personally cast as Skinner but for Chalmers definitely Kelsey Grammer.

[@Just_Danny_X64]

We need the Simpson family Grandmothers. As she already voiced the character, Glenn Close would be a great fit for Mona Simpson, and Dame Helen Mirren would be able to easily pull off Jacqueline Bouvier. Would love to see Kent Brockman (maybe Bryan Cranston would work?) and Professor Frink too.

[@heeeeeresrossy]

Love how you Americans pronounce certain words & letters differently, like McTavish, where you pronounce it as 'McTayvish' It just always tickles me how different our British version of the English language is to yours 😁

[@gcooper642]

You're scarily good at this.

[@2HackFrauds]

Personally i think Ed Helms is way too young for Skinner. My personal choice for the role is Bryan Cranston.
