: If Kevin is smart (and we all know he is) he should cast Jason Lee as the main Clerk in Clerks 2.
Yeah... I'm a little concerned about that myself... mentioned it on the last board. Brian and Jeff both have a certain charisma and comic timing, but Kevin's dialogue is very stylized and it's the rare actor who can pull it off so it sounds at all natural... and while Brian and Jeff hit the punchlines right, they still came off pretty wooden through a lot of it.
I think recasting it with Affleck and Lee in the leads would be perfect, but that would screw up continuity as well as screwing over Brian and Jeff and that'd be a little fucked up.
I guess I'm just hoping they can rise to the occasion.
