Armchair Casting Director: 'Greek'

Greek producers are on the lookout for an actor and actress in their late 40s to early 50s to play…

Cappie’s father and mother! Mom (a.k.a. April) is a free spirit who lives her life simply and in the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. She’s a good woman with an honest soul. Dad (a.k.a. Tobias) is a hard-core hippie — a spontaneous non-conformist who loves life and vegan cuisine.

Got casting tips? Post ‘em below!

  • Aline

    Enrico Colantoni as his dad with a perfomance à la party down ;)

    • Brooke

      Affirmed.

  • Mea

    Rebecca Romijn and Dean McDermott

  • Lelia

    I’d love to see Catherine Keener as Cappie’s mother, but I’m sure she’s busy being awesome somewhere. I would also settle for Catherine O’Hara. Any Catherine will do, really. I think it would be awesome to see another Ferris Bueller alum join Alan Ruck on ‘Greek.’ Maybe Mia Sara and Matthew Broderick as Mr. and Mrs. Cappie?

    • Jessie

      Mia & Matthew would be HILARIOUS!

    • Mac

      I could totally see Catherine Keener as his mother. That would be a perfect fit!

  • Jessie

    Daryl Hannah as April … still stuck on Tobias

  • Cassi

    hehe! so excited!!! all that I can think of though from the discriptions are Dharma’s parents from Dharma and Greg.

  • Sam

    Harriet Sansom Harris and Ray Wise!

    • Eric

      Best suggestion here! Harriet Sansom Harris and Ray Wise is a great idea.

  • marcus

    Before I even clicked on this article I was thinking “I bet Cappie’s parents are Hippie’s”.

    • marcus

      I did not mean to put an apostrophe there. Oops.

    • Reese

      We already knew they were hippies. Cappie made a joke about them not celebrating thanksgiving because they side with the turkey.. I got the hippie impression from that!

      • ks

        yes, it’s a well-established fact that his parents are hippies. It’s been mentioned several times throughout the series. And, it’s the reason we don’t know his real name. He calls himself “Cappie” because his real name is too embarrassing, given to him by “hippie parents with a fine tuned sense of irony.”

  • Bella

    Richard & Emily Gilmore?

  • tvtam

    Laura Dern, Mira Sorvino, Joely Richardson for the mom. John Corbett would make a good hippie dad for Cappie.

  • BlatantURLPimpingMustDie

    Anything less than JASON DOHRING in a dual role is unacceptable.

    • Jenn

      lol that’s funny!

  • Paige A Meyer

    ooh i wonder if we will figure out his real name like rebecca did i wonder ya i also can only think darma and greg’s parents but matthew brodreck?

  • Paige E.

    Oh! Intrigue! I have no casting ideas in mind really. But this is exciting news. I have to say though I think it would be amusing if Kelsey Grammer played his father.

    • Kelly

      That would be funny, but I couldn’t see him as a hippie haha

  • jayne

    loove the idea of john corbett! all the women could dump him for his father. love it.

  • teris

    Since they’ve already got Cameron why not go for Sloane as Cappie’s mom? She’d be perfect!

  • Sam

    Ohhh I can’t wait to meet Cappie’s parents on the show! John Corbett would be awesome as Cappie’s dad!
