Casting Call: Hagar the Horrible

Hagar the Horrible is a popular newspaper comic strip. It follows the misadventures of a Viking bent on pillaging and plundering English villages, as well as his dysfunctional sitcom home life with wife and kids. Never too far behind him is his even more clueless sidekick, Lucky Eddie.


Hagar the Horrible- Zach Galifianakis
Short, round, with a bright orange beard, the visual similarities are undeniable. Zach's energy level mixing equal parts endearing cluelessness and bad tempered personality make him a perfect fit.


Helga- Sarah Rue
Helga is the stereotypical overly-maternal type seen in every sitcom. Sarah Rue's ability to keep up with the comedic jabs but stay constantly reasonable make her the perfect "straight woman" to nag Galifianakis' unruly Hagar.


Lucky Eddie- Dax Shepard
Even more clueless than Hagar, as well as more cowardly, the usually wiry-framed yet equally clueless Dax Shepard could definitely play second banana to Zach.
