I think Bruce Willis would make a good wisecracking Apostate. Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Adam Sandler, and Gilda Radner could be his in his local Meetup group. They couldn't be in the movie about my life though, since I didn't know any smart ass Apostates until long after I left. Of course there is such a thing as poetic license.
Bob Newhart would be great as the elder who called me on the phone to confirm my DA letter.
