SNL should get john goodman to play barr. LOL nt (Original Post) Javaman Apr 2019 OP
Didn't he already play Rex Tillerson? He would be great though. applegrove Apr 2019 #1
He also played Linda Tripp Generic Brad Apr 2019 #5

They better do it fast, Barr's time is almost up RainCaster Apr 2019 #2
I think he looks like an older Peter Billingsley from Christmas Story Poiuyt Apr 2019 #3
Be interesting to track him down ... see if he'd like to do an SNL skit. :) nt eppur_se_muova Apr 2019 #7
Here's Ralphie today. Dave Starsky Apr 2019 #15
Somehow I doubt he'd be interested in playing Barr. ;) eppur_se_muova Apr 2019 #19
Little Ralphie grew up to be quite a handsome fella. Dave Starsky Apr 2019 #20
He really did. So many young stars are all drugged out as adults. Funtatlaguy Apr 2019 #27
He's still got a good career going, too. Dave Starsky Apr 2019 #28
Oh my....... a kennedy Apr 2019 #21

But should he be in character as Walter Sobchak ? eppur_se_muova Apr 2019 #9
Animated Peter Griffin, from Family Guy OneBlueDotBama Apr 2019 #11
Been saying for a month I'm pissed how much he looks like my best friend Walter ;) (nt) mr_lebowski Apr 2019 #12
Nope rusty fender Apr 2019 #13
How about Aidy Bryant? Staph Apr 2019 #14
He'd have to "bulk up" for the role. JustABozoOnThisBus Apr 2019 #16
I think Al Franken would be a better fit ! OnDoutside Apr 2019 #17
Kathy Bates eShirl Apr 2019 #18
Nothing is funny about this. maxsolomon Apr 2019 #23

Whether he goes to prison, or is simply embarrassed out of office remains to be seen. But this clown is going down, and soon I fear. (hope actually)

He was an executive producer on the first Iron Man movie.

I think it all comes down to the parents. Ron Howard had good parents who didn't pressure him and didn't look at him as their personal cash cow and road to millions, and look how he turned out. He also avoided the "child star curse".

That would be an interesting exercise in cognitive dissonance.

Goodman has lost too much weight to portray Barr. Maybe the 400lb hacker Trumpass keeps referring to is available

It seems to drive Trump around the bend to have a woman portray one of his toadies. Remember Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer?!?

Goodman has shed too many pounds to play Barr.



As an alternative, how about Roseanne Barr? She's already got the name, and the attitude.
