Happy Birthday, Isaac Asimov

On this date in 1920.

There's no way I could put together a list of favorite Asimov stories -- it's like trying to list your favorite flavor. So let's play a different game: There have only been a few attempts to make movies based on The Good Doctor's work, and they have been (to be charitable) not all that successful. (I would love to see Harlan Ellison's script for I, Robot produced.) That has to end somewhere, sometime, and it might as well be with us.

So: Pick one of Dr. Asimov's stories and cast it. Living actors, please, although you can include a fantasy casting. And these don't have to be full-length movies by any means; imagine an anthology TV series if you like, or short films shown on SciFi.

I think mine would be the short story "Billiard Ball". Bruce Campbell would play Edward Bloom (basically the same role Hugh Jackman played in The Prestige) (although Anthony Bourdin would be perfect if he was an actor); Andy Serkis or Paul Reubens as James Priss (because Burgess Meredith is no longer with us); and Brian O'Hallaran (Dante from the Clerks movies) as the reporter.
