Get Smart Recast
for femslashverse
(only one of them counts but I was on a roll and made two)
While I generally like Steve Carrell and Anne Hathaway I never believed them as Max & 99. I think I particularly didn't feel Anne as 99 because she was such an important character to me as a kid. I think Anne was too cute... but Laura Benanti... that's a 99 I could get behind! She has excellent comedic acting and she has the same sort of sharp featured beauty that I think Barbara Feldon embodied. And I think Damon Wayan Jr's acting range better fit Max than Steve. I think, comedically, Steve Carrell does stupid well and he does snark well. Max wasn't really snarky and he wasn't really stupid so I thought that Steve Carrell's portrayal was an over simplified, dumbed down version of Max. Basically, I enjoyed a little but wasn't really impressed with the 2008 remake... and this is my dream cast.
Damon Wayans Jr as Agent 86 Maxwell Smart
Laura Benanti as Agent 99
Jon Stewart as The Chief (aka Thadeus aka Agent Q)
Andy Richter as Larrabee
The Chief's hapless assistant/receptionist who's constant pushing the boundaries of idiot tolerance.
Rhona Mitra as Dr. Steele
The CONTROL scientist whose cover is working as a burlesque dancer and her lab is backstage
Zachary Quinto as Heimi
The KAOS turned CONTROL Mandroid
Paget Brewster as Siegfried
The KAOS master criminal. Though most recently known for her work Criminal Minds, Paget Brewster is hilarious and amazing in comedy and definitely has the acting chops to take on Siegfried's accent, mastermindedness and angry tantrums.
David Cross as Starker
The bumbling idiot Siegfried can never seem to shake off
"Zis is KAOS! We do not play with chipmunks here!"
