ROB CORDDRY CAST AS ARI FLEISCHER
04.10.08
Rob Corddry from The Daily Show has been cast as former white house press secretary Ari Fleischer in Oliver Stone’s W.
It’s unclear how big a part Fleisher will play in the movie, but if Corddry’s recent roles in What Happens in Vegas and Heartbreak Kid are any indication, Fleisher will be Bush’s kooky best friend. Bush will play the inveterate lady’s man until his buddy Ari bets him $5,000 he can’t stay with his latest hook up Condoleeza for more than 40 days. After a few days, W is almost ready to throw in the towel, but forces himself to think of the five grand and power through for a few more days. As time goes on, he gradually discovers that she’s more than just a sex object and starts to fall in love. "I think… I love… my black tail on the side," Bush is surprised to hear himself saying. But just when it looks like things are going perfectly, she finds out about the bet and is furious. Then Bush has to prove his love was real, and in the process, they all learn a little something about finding love in the strangest of places.
