'Where's Waldo?' Movie: 5 Actors Who Could Play the Titular Missing Person

Banking on the tradition of movie ideas that will ruin your childhood (see: Jennifer Lopez's 'Carmen Sandiego' project), the folks at MGM have acquired the rights to 'Where's Waldo?' with eyes on turning the popular children's books into a live-action family film. In what may be the cheesiest quote of the year, the CEO of Classic Media -- the company behind 'Where's Waldo?' -- says that "Waldo is the most searched-for character in the world... With thanks to MGM, fans everywhere will find Waldo in movie theaters with his motion picture debut." (Audible sigh.) This bit of news raises the obvious-but-necessary question: Who should play the titular missing person onscreen? Ahead, five Moviefone-approved suggestions. 1. John Krasinkski: because he's tall. 2. Christopher Mintz-Plasse: because of the glasses. 3. Jim Parsons: because he's tall and geeky. 4. Jason Schwartzman: glasses. 5. Justin Timberlake: glasses, again. (Timberlake loves those smart-guy specs) [via Deadline] Follow Moviefone on Twitter Like Moviefone on Facebook
