'Too Big To Fail' Cast List REVEALED! See Who's Playing Bernanke, Geithner & More (PHOTOS)

First Posted: 10-13-10 10:30 AM   |   Updated: 10-13-10 10:30 AM

An HBO movie about the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression has drawn an all-star cast, the Hollywood Reporter notes. Slated to appear in the film version of Andrew Ross Sorkin's crisis tome "Too Big To Fail" are some very big names.

Which isn't to say we entirely agree with HBO's reported casting picks. In March, we put together a much more suitable cast list, which you can view here.

There are some excellent actors in this reported cast list, however. Which picks are dead-on ringers for their real life counterparts? Check out the slideshow:

JAMES WOODS SHOULD PLAY BERNANKE....AT LEAST HE WENT TO MIT FOR A COUPLE
OF YEARS. I THINK BERNANKE IS A GRADUATE OF MIT.

I think a better fit would be Fievell Mouskewitz for timmy and The Grinch for ben.

I always thought Tim Geithner looked more like Ed Grimely from Saturday Night Live I must say.

Tom Cruise should play Geithner. They sound nearly exactly alike...Same height too. Give Cruise spock ears and you're set.

How about a bottle of Summer's Eve to portray Tim Geithner?

My thought too. Crudup is not nearly weasely enough to play Geithner.

Check on that weasely factor with Mary Louise Parker. Crudup ended their long-term relationship and walked out on her when she was pregnant with his child. He dumped Parker for Claire Danes, which, given the timing, seems kinda weasely to me. Danes later broke up with Crudup and married Hugh Dancy.
