It is the oldest story in Hollywood, comedic actor to star in drama, however, all the critics are raving about Andy's transformation to former comic Charles Nelson Reilly.
Andy's portrayal will cover all stages of the late Reilly's career. The screenplay, The Life of Reilly, was written as a one man stage vehicle for the late Reilly. Sources state that Dick will re-create all phases of the late comedian's career including his stint on Match Game with
Sigourney Weaver as Brett
Sommers, Ray Romano as Jamie Farr, Robin Williams as Richard Dawson, Hillary Swank as Fannie
Flagg, and Dave Chappelle as Nipsey Russell.
Although a supporting Oscar buzz has been in the air for Williams and Swank, sources say they do not take away anything from Dick. "One look at Andy's portrayal as Reilly character Hoodoo the Magician during the late actor's Saturday morning Sid and Marty
Krofft live action show
Lidsville nearly
hospitalized me." said one Oscar voter.
