"Macleans" mentioned it this week, and said they'd prefer Jim Carrey in the role. Given that the budget for this flick wouldn't cover Jim's private trailer toiletries, I think Gord's a far more likely choice.
Would certainly not even remotely cover Jim's toiletries or other assinine Hollywood star requests (even though I love him,... he IS Canadian after all! I think he has been "affected" by the big time of HW!) unless GD is worth oh-so-much more than we know! I personally think he is, though I am erring on the side of doubt when I contemplate the idea of GD being paid that cash to make an appearance.....sadly, not likely
Gord would be better in any role, but that is my entirely biased and one-sided opinion...
