Who Should Play Harry Knowles On HBO
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
Sources within HBO say the sitcom “Entourage,” a Marky Mark Wahlberg-inspired tale of a rising movie star and his pals, is seeking an actor to play a powerful renegade online movie-gossip maven.
Herc -
They are working on casting an episode right now.
They're searching for a comedian to play "Harry Knowles" --
Apparently there's a real who's who of comedians cracking at it, trying
to play Harry.
The part is allegedly a badly written unfunny part that isn't nearly
mean or funny enough - but producers are apparently worried that Harry
will sue, so they plan to change the name from "Harry Knowles" as it is
in the script.
Apparently it’s a significant role in the episode and producers are going after a name comedian to play it.
But Knowles says “Entourage” producers needn’t fear litigation.
"Pussies!” roared Knowles in an exclusive interview with Ain't It Cool: Coaxial News. “They totally have my permission to roast me. Go on, make
my mama cry! As for actors to play me? My pick is Eric Stoltz in a
fat suit. Guillermo Del Toro. or lastly Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
Or maybe Elijah Wood. Maybe Jack Black could do it, or that guy from
RUN RONNIE RUN that was a little drunk his own self."

According to Jay, there's nothing sadder than watching a fat man weep.
-
Hmmm, badly written unfunny part that isn't nearly mean or funny enough? Sounds like Entourage over all.

They're bound to screw it up...so at least screw it up in a prod
by chickengeorgevii
I say they should cast JENNIFER CONNELLY!!!!! YEAH!!!! MAN BOOBS HAVE NEVER LOOKED SO DAMN TASTY!!!!! AND THEN I SAY WE CAST ROSELYN SANCHEZ AS MORIARTY!!!! WOOOO!!!! AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF....THEY NEED TO ACT OUT THAT OLD CORNER ANIMATION OF HARRY AND MORI IN THE 69 POSITION!!!!! UH HUH UH HUH UH HUH UH HUH UH HUH UH HUH!!!!...And thus, I have cast! - - - George, The 7th Chicken!!!!
-
...I'll play Harry...
let me just spend the next 20 years doing nothing but watching movies and eating Bigmac Meals and maybe a littel lead paint. -
People have realised he exists again....Cast away.
-
Horatio Sanz! Put a redheaded wig on him and he'd look exactly like Harry. Although he usually plays stupid, idiotic characters, I think he could probably pull it off. He is funny!
-
I bet he's free.
-
He's the only one with enough girth to pull it off.
-
She'd be a natural. She'll need to put on some weight though.
-
But the director from Blade 2 looks exactly like a mexican Knowles.
-
For Shizzle...
-
. . . after he puts back on all the weight he lost while on Mad TV. Will the Knowles character have a robo-leg as well?
-
After all that is what Hollywood does now. Takes well known characters and makes them gay so their story is "edgy" and "hip"
-
Bette Midler?
-
Who says Harry cannot be a brother? Anthony Anderson with dreadlocks man, can you dig it?
GFY -
At least she could play Harry's surgically enhanced leg.
-
No one's mentioned Hurley? Jorge Whatshisname?
-
Derp.
-
... the fat guy from "Lost." Just give him a red dye job!

...with all your money and power wouldn't you rather lose weight and bang real-life hot chicks instead -- and love film at the same time? Do you realize how many fat bastards are out there in the world that would starve themselves to get in shape just to trade places with you in a second? You're a millionaire, famous, and have the power to squeeze the balls of major Hollywood production companies. And what do you do? You sit in your basement with your dick in your hand jacking off to Hellboy. Nothing wrong with Hellboy. But come on, wake up, Harry. Your life is GRAND in every way you want it to be if only you overcame your obesity. Again, you have money, power, and fame, yet people mock you, make fun of you behind your back, and hot chicks throw up in the sight of you just because you're obese. A lot of fat horny guys around the world love to kick your fucking ass right now for you to come to your senses. We love you Harry, don't waste your life with leg/back injuries caused by your weight, and enjoy your money and power outside your basement -- you deserve it.
-
Star Jones-Renolds, The Snapple Lady, Survivor Richard Hatch, Linda Tripp, David Spade.
-
Yeah...
-
C'mon, he was practically channelling Harry Knowles when he played Mr. Creosote in "The Meaning of Life"! "Bug off, of course ATTACK OF THE CLONES was a great film..."
-
Hey Alcamaeon, I laughed out loud at work when I read "That fat boyscout kid in the cave with River Phoenix in Indy 3".
-
The fat dude from LOST would be perfect casting.
-
It's a given!
-
Now we just need hire a midget to work his tail.
-
Unless Harry's dead. Did I hear that somehwere? Harry's actually dead? If so, can I have one of his tshirts?

-
All they have to do is take the Shrek model and retexture it.
-
I don't think the fat guy on American Idol is fat enough.
-
Get Harry Knowles to do it himself. Just put him in a fat suit so that he will look the part (assuming fat suits come in a large enough size to fit Harry).
-
Come on! Oz and Stan Winston could work on the ultimate muppet! Oz could do it!
-
It's noble, man... But did you ever watch Austin Powers: Goldmember? Do you remember the part at the end where Fat Bastard lost all his weight? "Unfortunately my neck looks like a vagina!" If Harry lost all his weight, he'd look like Eric Stoltz wearing M.C. Hammer pants made out of flesh. He'd look horrible. When you're that big, losing the weight may be healthy, but it ain't gonna bag any extra chicks. They'll be turned off by the extra few feet of skin.
-
If Harry lost the weight gradually and not via gastric bypass then he would not have skin that loose. Also Harry can afford to have plastic surgery...oh shit he could look like CarrotTop!!!GFY
-
Would be a great choice if you want someone funny in the part! Or call ILM and have them put a wig and beard on the old Jabba puppet from ROTJ!
-
that guy who played Syndrome in "The Incredibles." He was pretty darn good.
-
Seth Green, if he'd gain the weight DeNiro style. No, seriously, the majority has spoken and Jorge Garcia of "Lost" is the first, best and only logical choice. By the way, catch up the with '05 people: "The Comic Book Guy" has a name - he's Jeff Albertson.
-
I'm thinking Jabba the Hut, with a wig
-
How about Ralphie that comedian from that fat VH1 reality show
-
Seriously.
-
There ya go

It is a health issue for Harry, and no longer a joke...
by jim jam bongs
As for the extra flabby skin, you can work it off by going to the gym. Maybe you should try Atkins, Harry -- drop sugar, flour, starches and fatty foods from your diet, and stick with veggies, fruits and whole meats. One friend of mine lost over 70 pounds. He has loose skin but is gradually working that off by going to the gym and shooting hoops.

Harry should be on that big popular diet that's been around a wh
by robert_g_durant
You know that diet that 85% of America's obese are trying? The one where you talk a big game about deciding to change your life and drop all the weight, and then eat ice cream while weeping over your lack of self control when no one is around? He should go for that one.
-
Thomas Hayden Church, Hulk Hogan, and a dead raped deer and has a beer, puts a bomb in his ribcage cause he's the sexiest tomboy beanpole on the planet brother!!!
GFY -
He's sort of like an even more successful version of Harry anyway, and he likes to appear on stuff like this. I'll weigh in on Harry's girth, try the Subway diet, I did that several years ago and lost about 60 pounds, the subs taste great, are low fat, and very filling.
-
There is no other. He's sexy, cool, suave and a sophisto - *and* he's from Texas!!! Fuck these so-called "name" actors. What we need is someone as original as Knowles himself! Need I say more? Well sure I do! Check out his looks!!! http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y51/lynchnut/bart1.jpg
-
some fat virgin who knows fuck all about movies....obviously!
-
Seriously, for a short period of time I thought Bruce Vilanch actually was Harry Knowles.
-
Hell he was already Harry Knowles in Cloak & Dagger, just get him his old wig and beard and there you go.
-
he already played harry!
-
I think he'd be great in it!
-
Future Guy is right, Harry is the one and only logical choice.
-
Go on, make my mama cry, brother!
-
But only if Joss Whedon directs.

The Hedgehog!
-
the role is supposed to induce vomiting, is it not?
-
I've had family members die from obesity and the associated problems. To say it sucks for the survivors - not to mention the victim - is an understatement. Harry, I love ya man, and I want to see you live to be 100. Wouldn't it be cool if you transformed yourself from fat to Schwarzenegger? Or at least from fat to svelte. You can do it! Toppu o Nerae!
-
Peter Griffen should play Harry.! Must keep stupid talkback thread alive!
GFY -
Philip Seymour Hoffman? Somebody's ego is the same size as his waistline... that's like Don Cheadle playing Tommy Davidson in In Living Color The Movie. Powerful Renegade... perhaps Han will persuade him to join the Smugglers' Alliance. The powerful renegade who runs adverts for The Real Cancun on his website. The guy who is intravenously fed swag from studios like New Line. That renegade? Lorenzo Lamas on ARE YOU HOT? is more of a renegade than Harry Knowles. Though I bet HE never had the BALLS to say anything unflattering about BATMAN & ROBIN. What Harry DOES DO (fairly) WELL is provide a forum for film geeks to chew the minutae of the film world. Imagine if Brute & Glob took over The Dreaming, but still let everyone else talk. "Stay on Topic! Stay on Topic!!" Who should play Harry in a TV show nobody watches?? Why none other that Ralphie May!!! of Celebrity Fit Club / Last Comic Standing / Tough Crowd non-fame. Otherwise spend the money and have that New Zealand company that worked on Rings cg the whole affair. BTW the fact that this is a bogus post is not lost on me. I took the Universal Studios tour when I was 11; I can tell you that people inside Universal (my drunken tour guide), confirmed that it was a hamster and NOT a gerbile extracted at Cedars-Sinai...

Keiko dead? How about Shamoo?
I'm thinking they should go in a differnt way. Maybe Chris Gore from Film Threat, he hates Harry so who better to play him. -
Harry could always use more DICK!
GFY -
with a beer.
-
People keep mentioning Horatio Sanz,, and I don't think any of them realize the photo at the bottom of the story IS HORATIO SANZ from the SNL skit. That's not Harry people!
-
Yeah you know it bitches!
