Who could replace Roddy, if they were to have a sort of Roddy ape role in a contemporary sequel? This is clearly an insane idea (my coming suggestion), but I was thinking about this once. Know what I came up with? Jim Carrey. He's got those big beautiful coffee-brown eyes (I say this as a man with a staunch record of heterosexuality, you understand), he has done dramatic acting (Doing Time on Mapyl Drive or whatever the frik it was called, and other recents), and he has the kind of larger than life charisma which Roddy had which is required. Only problem is he's a bit tall for a chimp. However, when you consider that Rock Hudson was originally considered for the role of Cornelius, this might not be insurmountable.
