Davis cited a test he gave while teaching acting classes in Los Angeles, where he asked students if they were willing to do nudity. Many, as he said, immediately responded, “Oh, yeah, sure,” but to Davis, this meant, “They didn’t think about the question.” If they’re willing to do nudity, that’s absolutely fine, but not even trying to understand why your character might strip down indicates they would “do anything for a job.” Instead of just saying yes to everything, actors should consider why they’re the best fit for a role and use that to guide their choices instead.

Emphasis mine. So basically he's just saying don't apply to every role, pick the roles that you know you're the best at, the roles where you can really "Wow" the casting/director.

I think that's fair, but I imagine that's difficult when you have no job and are looking for a job. Especially so if it's your first few jobs and you don't have much of an acting reel yet.

Norman Osbourn unavailable for comment.

But seriously looking over his TV and film history looks like he was in a handful of things over the years, but Spider-Man is definitely where I know him from. Looks like he had a good long life, rest in peace.

Because AI is a solution in search of a problem. The current plan is to just put it in everything and hope one of them is better as a result. It's not the worst plan, because eventually some combination of things is likely to be useful, but it means a lot of useless shit will be slapped together. Of course it's also far from a great plan, because it means a lot of useless shit will e slapped together.

No one beats MARGE! Correct!

Margo Martindale.

She plays the sweet mother/grandmother role so well she is my favorite choice. Think Dewey Cox's mother.

I've seen her in The Leftovers and I've heard great things about her in Justified, so it think taking on a more villainous role is well within her skill set.

I think she would also be the best in terms of character reveal.

Glenn Close.

I think she has the right look and she was in Guardians of the Galaxy, so clearly not against being in comic book films.

I don't think she's played a villain in a while, but as Cruella from years ago, she can do it.

 

Granny Goodness, a New God from Apokolips and a servant of Darkseid.

Granny Goodness sort of made her live action film debut in Zack Snyder's Justice League through computer-generated imagery, modeled after the aunt of Wētā FX artist Jojo Aguilar.

I can only assume, eventually, wherever the new DCU goes, we have to run into Darkseid and his minions. I expect it will take a long time before we actually see any on the big screen, but who knows.

So, who would you cast as Granny Goodness?

I think a quote from the episode is more interesting, so I'm doing that now.

Some may say I've gone mad with power, but I say have you ever tried to go mad without power? No one listens to you.
