Luke most resembles John C. Reilly from the "Boogie Nights" era, but has a sense of humor that exists somewhere between Ben Stiller and Christopher Guest. Speaking of Christopher Guest, I think that dad most resembled a mix of Eugene Levy and a young Bob Gunton (the warden in 'Shawshank Redemption') with the fathering skills of Bill Cosby from the "Cosby Show." I am probably a mix of Matthew Modine ;-) and "Pulp Fiction" era Eric Stoltz with the personality type of George Carlin, Bill Hicks, and Dave Barry. Katie most resembles a mix of Sharon Stone, Genevieve (from the show 'Trading Spaces'), and Goldie Hawn. But her personality type is more of a Rene Russo type who's down to business when need be, but knows how to have a good time as well. I've never met Dickie Cronkite, but I'd imagine a mix of Albert Brooks from "Broadcast News," Dustin Hoffman from "All the President's Men," with the humor stylings of Larry David or Ben Stiller. Mr. Reverendmother is definitely a mix of Matthew Broderick and Zack Braff. Good call on that one. His personality is hard to nail down though since he's not a schlub like both Broderick and Braff. Maybe he's more like Zack Braff from "Scrubs" than "Garden State." Reverendmother herself resembles a mix of 1980's Meryl Streep, "Primary Colors" era Emma Thompson, and Sarah McLachlin. Her personality type is probably a mix of those people too with a hint of Bob the Tomato from "Veggie Tales." Hey, she is a reverend after all. I prefer the combination method myself.

Otherwise, Barbara Hershey is not a bad choice. Of course I love Meryl and Vanessa for their acting chops. And in the "I wish" category, others have suggested Emma Thompson.

And for you RM, a 30-something Meryl or maybe a 30-something Vanessa Redgrave. And for Katie, the serious side of a 30-something Goldi Hawn. ;-) Diane Keaton…wow…I so like that choice for me.

(I don't look anything like that in person, but if I come across something like that on paper, then I guess I'm doing something right.) For you RM I'd say a mid to late-80s Barbara Hershey, from the Hoosiers/Beaches era (do NOT go by the current IMDB photo - it's pretty scary. I'd get hate-commentary from you for months) PS keep at it with the poetry - I'm a fan A young Albert Brooks - that’s awesome!
