Website Casts ‘Sotomayor: the Movie’ with Nine Justice Look-alikes

Actor Danny DeVito would have a starring role—as Justice Antonin Scalia—in a website’s “dream cast” for its dreamed-up movie starring Sonia Sotomayor.

The Daily Beast suggests the Supreme Court nominee should be played by actress and singer Sara Ramirez in Sotomayor: the Movie. The justice Sotomayor would replace, David H. Souter, would be portrayed by actor Joel Gray.

The website founded by Tina Brown posts photos of Sotomayor and all nine current justices along with their designated look-alike stars. Some of the celebrity combos include: David Hyde Pierce for Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., Danny Glover for Justice Clarence Thomas, Ernest Borgnine for Justice John Paul Stevens and Bebe Neuwirth for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

I think it really would be possible to produce a very good movie with a lookalike cast playing the Court through the argument, deliberation and decision of some major case.
