Not the main cast. It features a ton of cameos.

Young, brash champion, who grows during the story? Owen Wilson is a good choice for that..It's what he plays 90% of the time.
Older, world weary, experienced mentor with a hidden past? Paul Newman.
Nice, but…

Miley was at the time. Mandy wasn't, but certainly became part of the family after.

Mandy Moore wasn't stunt casting, she was just casting. She was barely a name when Tangled came out..a former minor pop star.

She's in the Disney system..the star of one of their longer run shows, and has done voice work for Disney Animated (she was the lead in the recent Tinkerbelle movie).

Huh.. good point..though why Lana when Naomi, Natty, Summer, or even Emma are easy enough for some actual wrestling to carry Brie thru.
Better than Brie getting a title match, at least.

Summer isn't a ring general, but she can hang and look good with a good or better wrestler, like Paige or Emma.

Really,…

I just couldn't figure out a way to funnily bring up the santa beard, so thanks!

I did..I thought it'd be a good parting line for him.

I was trying to remember if he's alive or dead..He died to give Rogue new powers that was promptly forgotten about, I recall..

I so want a Amadeus Cho/Hercules buddy show!

The odds of it being the hot young girl when there are two ick old people on the CW show….

Apparantly a deal has been made as reprints are coming soon.

Why must you bring up the….unpleasentness… :)
