Now in the thread titled they dealt with Quimby being written as a jerk (which would only make sense if the movie had Penny Gadget in her mid-20s, famous for doing Gadget’s work, and Quimby being retired and understandably bitter toward his former colleague). It was mentioned that Ian McCracken might be a good choice to play Dr. Claw. Which sounds like a good idea until you realize by working on this film he would be unable to play either Magneto in X-Men or the famed wizard in Lord of the Ring. The same problem happens with the guy I wanted to play Quimby, in 2001. He died from cancer, so as much as I would like him for that role. I can’t have realistically cast him for the part. So I need an alternative for both actors, any suggestions?
Note that I want an actor who could play Dr. Claw and was theoretically available (acting in either British or American television and movies when the movie was being made) and would not have to turn down a major role that would immortalize them in the public eye?

I was the one who mentioned Ian McKellen, but I also mentioned Dolf Ludgrin. He's not currently doing anything.

I'm no expert on actors, but I think Brian Doyle-Murray could be a good fit. (He played K'nuckles on Flapjack and plays the car salesman on 'The Middle') I realize his voice wouldn't fit at all, but I still think it would be good.

Maybe the guy who voiced Ford Pines on Gravity Falls for Quimby?

Um, folks I was talking about purely live-action actors, not voice actors...

Well, I just found out Ford was played by JK Simmons, so I'm standing by that suggestion.
