SIR LAURENCE OLIVIER AND STEPHEN BALDWIN ARE THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER: I can pretty much imagine how the casting meetings for The Day the Earth Stood Still went:

CASTING AGENT: You're going to love this. You get to wear suits and it's not on basic cable.
DON DRAPER: I'm in.

(later)

CA: You're going to love this. Don Draper is in it.
COACH TAYLOR: I'm in.

(later)

CA: Guys, I want you to meet your lead, the bass player for Dogstar and the star of the hit films Cancer Lady Made Me a Better Man, Two Dumbshits and a Time Machine, I Now Hate Shakespeare, and Paycheck, Please.
DON DRAPER: [walks out, philanders]
COACH TAYLOR: [hair stands up]
