Stephen Colbert circa Strangers with Candy…he’s too old now.

I like the David Tennant because it would be the opposite of his Dr. Who character – a drunk, human-hating, sarcastic anti-hero.

But please please please somebody make a liveaction Dethklok Metalocalypse movie and give Stephen Colbert the “comic book” part he was born to play (besides himself, natch): the band’s longsuffering and mysterious CFO, Charles Foster Offdensen.

And yes, there should be Dethklok comics. I stop now.

If you can produce a Nextwave movie, that would be amazing in itself

My vote is totally for Colbert.

Ed Helms would be an inspired choice.

Of the three offered, I’d go for Colbert, then Reubens, then McLovin way behind.

You’d have a “fleshy one” play Aaron Stack!? Bah!

Only an Ipod Touch can come close to playing a character as complex as Machine Man.

I always found to be funny in an unsettling way. In my mind he sounded a little like Jeffrey Combs or Ben from Lost. But they’re both probably too old… I’d go with Rainn Wilson.

David Tenant.

Now that he’s leaving Who, I gotta get my fill somewhere.

Did you mean “who” should play Machine Man, as opposed to “How Should Play… Machine Man?”?
