  • Bill Murray and Stephen Lee Shepard as Dudley are the first two candidates.
  • Owen Wilson is excluded because his role is too large for the category.
  • Larry Pine's brief turn as the Charlie Rose-like interviewer is an additional candidate.
  • Kumar Palana as Bogota is selected as the winner and called the participant's favorite of his Wes Anderson performances.
  • His walk to the window and quiet response during the drug intervention supply the decisive moment.
