Hadn't even heard of it. Looked it up. Tate Donavan plays Neal. I'm not familiar with him.
That's gotta be a hard role to get down.

Why? Most people have no idea what his mannerisms or anything are.

Most people don't...but the actor should try to portray Neal accurately, he was a complete original; the improvised raps and the blur of activity. I just think it would be hard to pull off. I'm sure Donavan watched a lot of the Prankster footage, there was tons of it.
