Two new cast members for Inglorious Bastards, what has to be the strangest group of actors assembled for a film in some time. Mike Myers has been cast as British Gen. Ed Fenech, a military mastermind who helps hatch a plot to kill Nazi leaders, in director Quentin Tarantino's WWII drama.

It is also being reported that David Krumholtz will not be in the film due to scheduling conflicts and instead will be replaced by Samm Levine from Freaks and Geeks. He played Neal Schweiber, the best friend of John Francis Daley's Sam Weir. This one is a ever stranger because Levine still looks to be about 16 and hardly resembles any type of soldier I have ever seen.

NOTE: Not related to anything to do with Inglorious Bastards but I just remembered that Krumholtz played Levine's brother on Freaks and Geeks for one episode.

Also, Krumholtz has horrible luck with movies. He was originally cast as one of the roommates in Knocked Up but then left the movie to star in a Woody Allen movie. The Allen movie was then canceled but it was too late to join back up with Knocked Up. Now this.
