God I hope this is true. Lee Evans is a fantastic actor that hasn't neared his on-screen potential yet. Just watch FUNNY BONES to see genius in motion. It would be a thing of beauty. Don't get me wrong, I like Jim Carrey, but Lee Evan's has already played the son of Lewis, I think he'd be perfect for the role. Please be true, please be true, pleaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssseeeee...
I was listening to breakfast radio this morning, and heard an interview with Lee Evans, star of Mouse Hunt, Funny Bones, Fifth Element, and There's Something About Mary.
When asked straight about this, he dodged the question a bit, but then gave a firm yes. It seems he's been approached by Martin Scorsese to play Jerry Lewis, in what I can only guess is his upcoming 'Dino'.
I figure that this is way better casting than Jim Carrey, you only have to watch the two of them in Funny Bones to see the similarity (Evans actually played Lewis' son)
I hope this is worthy of your page, and if so, then just call me Frank Bullitt.
