3. That is ONE BAD PHOTO of Richard Dreyfuss
I am certain that Dreyfuss could pull it off, but I am also sure he might find it distasteful.

He was a very convincing Hannibal Lecter, so he could be a very convincing Darth Cheney.

26. Good choice. Even considering the fact that Elam has been
dead for about twenty years. In other words, his heart isn't beating; he'd be a perfect Cheney! :evilgrin:

43. Agreed, he would have to put about 40 lbs, though.
There was a scene in Sith where he had a sideways grin, looked just like him.

He can do evil, as well.
