It's a more brilliant choice if you cast someone like John Travolta in Pulp Fiction. See? Think about Leo in that role instead of Travolta.

Travolta always played the cool guy. You're assuming a lot with Perry and whatever mythical movie you have in mind. Stunt casting is unnecessary. Wait, why am I having this convo?

It's meta because Luke Perry or someone like him is ACTUALLY a washed up actor. It works on multiple levels. Get some washed up actor who can perform well in the role instead of boring old Leo. Why does anyone ever have any conversations? That's for you to decide.

Nah. Just get Leo because he's a good actor and really good in this.

He's OK but I'm tired of him. Tarantino should have done what he does best and casted someone outta the woodwork.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I don't know why you would say that or what it has to do with anything.

I’m gonna let someone from the Blink-182 message board explain my thoughts because no one will ever see it coming!
I'm not saying it would've been cool to see someone like, but especially Luke Perry in that role because it subverts expectations... it just makes more sense and would've been so cool... especially for a Tarantino movie like this

The reanimated corpse of Hervé Villechaize would’ve really blown people’s minds!
Yeah but see, that's impossible. Luke Perry was ACTUALLY IN THE MOVIE but in the wrong role.

I loved the movie but just saying it would've been neat to see Luke Perry in that role for good reasons. Brad Pitt was perfect.

Nah brad Pitt is too big of a star to play an aging stunt man. Should have hired Tom Arnold.
