ABC Recasts Cavemen
For Geico Spin-Off??

I am – Hercules!!

ABC has greenlit a sitcom pilot based on the Geico cavemen ads, but it looks like it’s hiring new actors to play the cavemen.

Nick Kroll, Bill English and Kaitlin Doubleday have been cast in the leads. No word of Jeff Daniel Phillips and Ben Weber, who play the teed-off Cro-Magnons in the commercials.

Read more of this here.
