- James Ransone is floated for the Recasting Couch, imagining a young 25-year-old actor instead.
- Recasting Ransone is vetoed because he is great in it.
- Recasting Defoe instead allows role swapping; a female choice such as Queen Latifah, from The Equalizer, is proposed to run ESU.
- Tom Barringer, William Hurt, Jeremy Irons, Daniel Day Lewis and John C. Riley are also floated before settling on Queen Latifah.
