Actor’s name: Lindsey Lohan Explanation: In "Mean Girls" she plays a girl who is mean and a bad attitude towards everyone. Also in "Freaky Friday" she plays a teenage girl who is once again, rude. This would be fitting because Kate is also a mean teenage girl and Lindsey Lohan even looks the part.
 * KATE **

Actor’s name: Joel McHale Explanation: In his show "Communtiy" he plays the guy that everyone likes and can pretend to be a really nice person, even though his true motive behind his actions is money and his proud possessions and getting the girl. He also shows how he can be manipulative and a smooth talker. In "The Soup" Joel shows his trickier side displaying his sarcastic jokes which is similar to Petruchio's breaking down of Kate. Petruchio and Joel can almost be mirror images of each other because they both can be manipulative and sly.
 * PETRUCHIO **

Actor’s name: David Schwimmer Explanation: In "Friends" David plays the sensitive guy that is always chasing the hard to get girl. Lucentio is trying to win Bianca over in "Taming of the Shrew" so David is an obvious choice for this role.
 * LUCENTIO **

Actor’s name: Lauren Conrad Explanation: In "The Hills" Lauren plays the beautiful girl that all the guys are after and as you get to know her better you realize that she is unintelligent and can be annoying.

 * BIANCA **

Actor’s name: William Shatner Explanation: In "Star Trek" when he played Captain Kirk he was a ladies man. Gremio is an older man who was also after Bianca and had money. William would make a great Gremio because they are both older wealthy men chasing around beautiful women.
 * GREMIO **

Hortensio is similar to this because he is also young and good looking and chasing after the beautiful Bianca.
 * HORTENSIO **

 * TRANIO **

Actor’s name: Will Smith Explanation: We picked Will Smith as Baptista because in "The Pursuit of Happiness" he played a protective dad that was trying his hardest to be the best he could be. Baptista is also an overprotective father that is trying to do the best he can for his daughters.
