News > Richard Dreyfuss to Play Cheney

Richard Dreyfuss may be the latest actor to join the cast of Oliver Stone's "W.", and he could be playing the coveted role of current Vice President Dick Cheney. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the negotiations have not yet concluded, but it certainly sounds like a good fit to me. Dreyfuss might need to work on his scowling ability, but otherwise the resemblance is decent enough.

So with that, the primary roles have been filled. IMDb says that Toby Jones will be playing Karl Rove, something I hadn't heard. It feels appropriate though, as I'd thought the other Capote would have been a good Rove.

I know a lot of people out there aren't looking forward to another history lesson from Oliver Stone, but I'm oddly curious. Will it be a train wreck? Maybe, but with a cast this good, it could be a tremendous train wreck.
