Three Stooges For Hire!

What'll end up happening is some classically-trained, brilliant but unknown actor will get cast, and will forever be associated as a physically-violent, dim-wit.

With the all-star cast of Jim Carrey, Benicio Del Toro and Sean Penn off, the Farrelly brothers are going for no-names to fill in the iconically-stupid roles of Larry, Curly and Moe for The Three Stooges.

Production is aiming for a Spring start and auditions commence next month, and the good folks at What's Playing have the casting breakdowns:

"MOE
The unquestioned leader of the Three Stooges, Moe is a numbskull who barks orders and expects unquestioned obedience from his two hapless companions, Larry and Curly. STRONG VERBAL AND PHYSICAL COMEDY SKILLS REQUIRED - Age range early 30’s to early 40’s.

LARRY
An imbecile with an eccentric fringe of pullable frizzy hair, Larry is the bird-brained member of The Three Stooges, a victim of Moe’s bullying and Curly’s effervescent insanity. STRONG VERBAL AND PHYSICAL COMEDY SKILLS REQUIRED - Age range early 30’s to early 40’s.

CURLY
A chubby, bullet-headed idiot whose hair never grows more than an eighth of an inch, Curly is irrepressible, outgoing, unpredictable, and utterly chaotic. STRONG VERBAL AND PHYSICAL COMEDY SKILLS REQUIRED - Age range early 30’s to early 40s."

So if you look stupid enough for their type, go for it.
