We just signed the State Street deal to make “Swirling” a movie, and the ink is barely dry and I’m already thinking about who I’d pick as an all-star cast. But…I think I’m going to need your help. Since I don’t watch much television–just mostly soap operas that are on during work hours just so I have background noise–so I’m not entirely sure who’s hot and who’s not. Plus, I suck at names. So I thought it might be fun to give you an idea of who I was thinking about for the casting of Swirling the movie. Now, now, before you go berserk, I know you might have some concerns, but I’m flexible. Because there’s no script written yet, I just thought I might brainstorm on a list of characters based on typical Hollywood type-cast formula.

Mustache twirler (er, goat-tee twirler):Leading man’s racist Uncle Larry who’s lobbying for the KKK’s adopt-a-highway campaign…

Leading lady’s Crazy Aunt Ethel who shrieks, when finding out her niece is dating a rainbeau: “Don’t come crying to me when he kills you!!”

Leading lady’s bestie, “Chica”:

Token black guy who warns leading lady that no man could ever, never, eva, neva love a black woman better than a black man:

Jealous ex-girlfriend of leading man, who only wants him back when she see him with Leading Lady:

Leading man’s easy-going sidekick:

or…

Wait…

Maybe James Franco should be the lead.

But what the heck do I do with him??

or him….

Meh! This is too hard.

Help me out here. Who would you like to see in Swirling, the movie? My brain is about to explode, and I haven’t even gotten to the leading lady or the leading man. #willworkforvodka
