  OK, but that's an easy call. Here's a hard one: who will be cast as the mom?

  evidence that seth is not pulling a tom hanks (ie, from silly to substantive), seth is further expanding his acting chops with 'Zack and Miri Make a Porno,' due out in 2008.

  how can i be seth?

  But Albert and Seth are the same person at different ages.

  And, as for the casting of mom, I wonder, what do their real moms look like?

  Other possibilities:

  We can cross off Ann Bancroft, but how about Beth Midler, Julie Newmar, and, you know, that actress who can be anybody, Sophie, a river runner, an orchid freak...

  I'm having a marijuana moment here, help me out,

  she's like Yale drama school, has an armload of oscars...

  Hey Thom,
  I think that's Dame Merle Streep you have in mind. Star of "Defending Your Life" no less..... A casting slam dunk. Unless Julie Kavner was available.

  Is Valerie Harper still alive?

  I think she's immortal, which is while she's often called "Valerie Harper, everlasting."

  Glad to know someone else had the same thought.

  What if we dress up Jeff Garland as the mom?
