I'm obsessed with watching Eight is Enough on MeTooTV.
I decided to recast for 2009 because I'm that much of a mental patient.
Actors today are
so gorgeous, I'm not
entirely happy with my choices, but casting for little quirks isn't as easy as it used to be.
*I did find a crazy amount of new girlfriends who would have at least gotten a private audition and a call back. I may write about them later.
Penelope's Cast:
Tom Bradford AKA Daddy


Michael Aday or Dave Thomas. My first choice is probably Meatloaf.
Abby Bradford

Toni Collette was actually my inspiration for the recasting. She's very Abby-ish. To me.
David Bradford

Kyle Schmid. Why not?
Mary Bradford

Spencer Grammer. Kelsey's kid.
Joanie Bradford

Amber Marshall. She's a little more Susan than Joanie, but she's old enough, she's my girlfriend,
and she played Elizabeth Smart!
Nancy Bradford

Ashley Benson. She has all Nancy's assets.
Elizabeth Bradford

Sarah Ramos. C'mon! She's perfect.
Susan Bradford

Bonnie Wright. I don't know nuthin bout the Harry Potter movies, but she'll do.
Tommy Bradford

Graham Phillips is not terribly Willie Ames-ish, but he did sing on Bat Out of Hell 3.
Nicolas Bradford

His name is Slade Pearce, which is awesome. Kind of a mid-range Nicolas, but I like it.
