With all the speculation of casting of the Farrelly Brothers Three Stooges after Jim Carrey dropped out of the project. But the rumour mill is turning and it seems that the Farrelly’s are already talking Curly’s replacement.
And it could be Bill Chott.
Fused Film quotes Bill Chott’s blog:
Big news first. I may have my foot in the door again on the Farrelly Bros. Three Stooges“ How?” you ask.“Oh, and Indian!” I respond…Here’s the scoop. Jim Carrey was cast as Curly in the film but he bowed out. Maybe being bald and fat isn’t his thing. But I’ve been settling into this role for a long time. After shooting the Ringer with The Farrelly Bros. I told them that I was VERY interested in playing the role of Curly. Pete Farrelly sent me a bunch of Curly tapes and DVD’s to study. I put together an audition which you can see by clicking HERE. Pete and Bobby Farrelly already think the world of me and Pete even called to let me know that I was at the top of their list and they hadn’t read anyone else besides Jim Carrey for the role.
Here is the audition reel he mentions above:
I haven’t been exposed to much else he has done, but after seeing this I would rather this guy get the gig than Jim Carrey . Nothing against Jim, but you know if he got the role it would be in that Carrey own silly style (which is fine for Jim Carrey), and frankly this guy channels Curly!
I really hope this guy gets it.
