Christopher Plummer as Logan Roy
- Excellent at playing overbearing fathers
- Genuinely terrifying
- Truly capable of the power and authority that someone needs to play Logan

Jimmy Stewart as Kendall Roy
- Look at him like....it was always going to be him
- Just watch Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
- Excellent at the everyman but also can bring the emotional gravitas needed
- Hot but like in a slightly off way

Donald O'Connor as Roman Roy
- Class clowns through and through
- Adorable holy terrors
- Excellent comedic timing and he just has the mannerisms but also the emotional depth to pull off Roman

Katharine Hepburn as Shiv Roy
- Redheads <3
- There's a scene in The Philadelphia Story where Katharine's character just says quietly, "I don't want to be worshipped, I want to be loved" and I can't get it out of my head
- Knows how to hang in a boy's world

Paul Newman as Connor Roy
- Paul just like lived Connor's dream life, doing self indulgent projects and getting really into health food and sponsoring politicians and race car drivers
- Did a lot of films hanging out in the desert
- I just like him

William Powell as Tom Wambsgans
- Ultimate Wife Guy
- The man genuinely made a career out of being a wife guy you cannot get much more Tom than that
- I can see Tom with the mustache

Barbara Stanwyck as Gerri Kellman
- My favorite actress and my favorite character <3
- Gerri needs to be played by someone who radiates get-shit-done, life-put-together energy
- I think she would enjoy calling someone a slime puppy
- Eyebrows!!!!

Grace Kelly as Tabitha
- Known for being the most beautiful person in the room at any time
- Grace gave up everything to marry a prince, Tabitha is giving up her sanity to tag along on Roy family vacations. One of these things seems more desirable than the other.

Ingrid Bergman as Marcia
- Not American which I think is very sexy of her
- Known as one of the most glamorous leading women of her time
- Quiet and understated strength to most of her films, I think she could master Marcia's subtlety well

That's all for tonight but there are a few more characters I want to add in the near future after I've given it more thought!

Also, disclaimer that these people were not all the right ages at the same time for this because I KNOW someone will point it out. I know. It's just for fun.
