Futurama's perfect live-action cast explained.
While Futurama’s live-action adaptation might never happen, that doesn’t mean that there are not a host of human stars who are perfectly suited to bringing the show’s colorful cast to life on screen. Adapting popular cartoons into live-action shows is infamously difficult. Moments that feel hilarious or visually striking in animated formats can look silly, cheap, or downright weird in live-action.
11 Mom - Rachael Harris Futurama’s duplicitous corporate overlord Mom is the closest thing that the series has to a main villain and could prove hard to cast. Luckily, Rachael Harris is a veteran of playing seemingly sweet female characters who invariably turn out to be bitter, calculating, or outright mean. From The Hangover to New Girl to the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies, Harris has repeatedly proven she would be perfect for the part of Mom.
8 Kif - Chris Parnell Comedic actor Chris Parnell has years of experience playing surprisingly sympathetic pushovers thanks to his role as Rick and Morty’s Jerry. Thus, the television veteran would be an ideal choice for Amy’s unlikely paramour Kif. Not only that but his work on 30 Rock proves he is no slouch when it comes to live-action comedy either.
5 Zoidberg - Walton Goggins Futurama’s resident oddball Zoidberg is a tough character to cast in a live-action adaptation. Such a bizarre figure calls for an actor known for offbeat, daring comedy roles, which is where Walton Goggins comes in. Although he’s taken on plenty of serious roles, Goggins impressed in everything from The Righteous Gemstones to I’m A Virgo by playing what were effectively live-action cartoon characters. As such, he is ideally suited to Futurama’s adaptation.
