Wild Hogs
So Lacey and I the other night were watching network TV, not something we do very often and we caught an ad for Wild Hogs, a movie neither of us knew existed until that very moment. It seems, at first blush, to be a project answering a road trip time killer to come up with a movie featuring four actors with the least potential for having any chemistry between them, both in individual scenes and collectively. John Travolta? William H. Macy? Tim Allen? And Martin Lawrence? This is a dare, right?
So here's my challenge: who can come up with a foursome of living actors all roughly the same generation (Martin Lawrence is the outlier here, of course, in more ways than one) that is less plausible as a group of friends than this?
Update: This is now officially a contest. Entries will be taken until midnight this Thursday. I will convene a panel of experts to weigh in on the entries, and I will buy the winner a ticket to a movie of their choice.

Pretty good, but I wonder if Cedric and the Rock might not be pretty good together.

( If I can have an alternate .. and count " glitter" as " acting" I would like to also add Mariah Carey)

Bonus scenario: These old army buddies team up to rob an Applebee's and kidnap their former sergeant, Kyle Gass.
This was more of a challenge than I thought. I wanted to make it as accurate as possible with the generation, and make sure to make it as multi-cultural as possible to keep an open audience. I hope that you're pleased with the cast that I have come up with:
Gilbert Gottfried (February 28, 1955)
Forest Whitaker (July 15, 1961)
Billy Bob Thornton (August 4, 1955)
George Lopez (April 23, 1961)
I also think that Cate Blanchett should be thrown in the mix, though she is quite a bit younger than the rest of "the gang". I think that her character should deffinetely be married to Gilbert Gottfried, but having a secret love affair with Billy Bob Thornton's character.
