You know, in the inevitable movie.

Which is more than inevitable because Kathryn Bigelow had already started casting it before the guy was tossed dead into the water.

So as long as the project has already been green-lighted, here are my top choices for the part:

They're a motley bunch, for sure, but talent knows no bounds.

Jim Caviezel ... Nicolas Cage ... Jeff Bridges ...

Aasif Mandvi ... Christian Bale ... Ryan Gosling.

Decide or I'll throw you in the water!

I think we owe it to the world to cast Sacha Baron Cohen. The irony is delicious.

Harvey Fierstein?

A Jewish gay drag queen would be perfect! Picture Osama in a pink satin burnous, having private parties like Valentino's Sheik of Araby, and indulging in the venerable Arab tradition of taking a catamite pleasure-boy to his tent for the night!

What's catamite? Is it like vegimite? Don't know what that is either, but I think you eat it.

A male concubine; a boy-toy.

I think it's a Persian term, but we all know there are no homosexuals in Iran.

Ya. Gloria Steinhem's step son (Christian Bale) playing Osama - The classic scene will be him handing a couple of box-cutters to his underlings who've just graduated from flight training school in Florida saying to them "Take these and destroy America!"

Lily Tomlin.

I want Molly Equality Dykeman. Here mullet would look great with the beard.

Michael Choux, on thorough second thought, Hillary Swank, and here's why. She can play male. She dies, impresses the Scientology voting block once more and achieves a third Oscah! The very thought.
