Since picking up the first <em>Left Behind</em> book I have been often dreamcasting the roles in my head (and often aloud, this series really has taken over my life). It doesn't matter that there have already been 4 films based on the series. Like Nicholas Cage, I think I can do it better. While I usually like to cast it as a comeback vehicle for former A-List actors who have disappeared a bit (i.e. <NAME> as Buck and <NAME> <strike>reprising his star turn</strike> as <strike>Darth Vader</strike> Carpathia) in the spirit of the Christmas season I have decided to cast <em>The Muppets Left Behind</em>. Furry alien-ish comedic puppets seems like the appropriate actors for <em>Left Behind</em>.

Note: This casting is taking place after the failed television revival. In said revival Kermit the Frog and <NAME> broke up so all romantic pairings are fair game.

<ul>
<li><b>Animal as <NAME>:</b> In a shocking break with tradition, Kermit the Frog is relieved of his leading man duties. Stepping in from the wings is Animal who possesses the craziness that Rayford requires. Also just imagine a movie where Animal has to move the plot forward. I think he would make a great pilot as well.</li>
<li><b>Rowlf the Dog as Cameron "Buck" Williams:</b> When thinking about the Muppets characters, the muppet that most resembles Kirk Cameron to me is Rowlf the Dog. That is the only criterion I needed to cast him as the other male lead. But I'll rationalize the decision to producers by saying he's generally likeable and will play the straight man to Animal's literally insane man.</li><commit_msg>Update 2016-12-15-muppets-left-behind.md<commit_after>---

Stepping in from the wings is Animal who possesses the craziness that Rayford requires. Also just imagine a movie where Animal has to move the plot forward. And imagine him flying planes. This is going to be such a good movie.</li>
