I was critical of Bill’s audition tape the first time I saw it. I told him so,and he was as generous as he could be in his reply. I feel as though I was a little too reactionary. I now believe that if this film is ever made,it had better be with unknowns. Established stars like Jim Carrey are still going to revert to their old schticks. This is not a slap in the face to anyone,but get on with it with unknowns or put it out to pasture! A Stooges fan from way,way,way back.

Carey was more than willing to put on the weight for the role, but after the film suffered a number of delays he dropped out citing that he would not be willing to continually keep himself unhealthy fat waiting for the movie to start production.

I am and always will be a huge Jim Carrey fan, but I could not imagine a tall skinny man being Curly.

Bill Chott is by far the best that I have seen and will no doubt do awesome in the role.

My kids have watched the clip, and were ROLLING in the floor.

No disrespect to “insiders in the business” but
there is nothing more credible than a ten-year-old boy’s reaction!

(Isn’t that what the entertainment business was supposed to be about???)

We can’t wait to see Curly … Chot-style on the big screen.

For a new generation, this will be the Curly they know and love, and imitate. After seeing this clip, anyone else would be a disappointment!

If a Stooges movie is to be produced, Bill Chott is curly in every way shape and funny form. Bill brings the energy shown in this sampling in everything that he does. I have seen it first hand! He wears his weight and uses it in his comedy. Jim Carrey I am glad that you came to your senses and got out of Bill’s way for this role.

I loved The Stooges growing up and of course Curly was my favorite. Bill is Curly, no doubt about it.

sorry but in the end it is a curly impersenation. jerry howard/curly was on another planet when it came to his art and i’ve seen curly impersenations come and go. sure doing bits and pieces of curly on audition tape is good, but when you get the three together and they start trying to slap and push each other around with the timing of a seasoned ballet dancer, it’s a whole different ball game and the real stooges had over 10 years live performances to perfect this before they put it on film. i agree he drops character when he is not doing something…at the end of the day you just want to pop in the real boys and enjoy. sorry.

Go Bill! I hope you get it buddy. You need to come back down to New Orleans and do another show!

With Bill Chott as Curly, this is a box office hit.

I grew up on the Stooges and get a the same feeling watching this video as I did when a child. Sure Bill is funny, but he also has that innocence that Curly embodied. That is what makes him an effective choice to play the role.
