#honestly my fancasts of preexisting roles stop in the mid-90s because of exactly this

On a related note, is it just me or does Our Generation of younger actors (like people who have gotten famous between the 2010s and now) not really have anyone who does big broad comedic performances anymore, I feel like there's a real emphasis on downplayed sarcasm nowadays so anarchic comedies with wild protagonists don't really happen anymore (which is mostly just interesting that we likely will not be producing anything with Fawlty Towers energy any time soon but in the context of "I would like to remake a wild comedy that was itself a love letter to silent melodrama or else make a similar original project myself" it very much gets to OK and who would I think about casting as the incredibly hammy Most Evil Man On Earth villain with a heart of gold he desperately is trying to conceal because I can't think of anyone who has anything like that kind of energy)
