That's a great idea! Caine excels in the roles of less-than-savory
characters. Check him out in "A Shock to the System" or "Mona Lisa"
to see what I mean.

I think so. He can certainly project the rage required (look at his
performance as an East End mobster in "The Long Good Friday" to see
what I mean). However, I can't get a fattened-up (via special effects
or other means) John Cleese out of my mind as Uncle Vernon. :)
