The BBC said on Wednesday that it is producing “The Last Days of Lehman Brothers,” a TV movie “inspired by the real events” of that September weekend, for its BBC Two channel. And it has also cast a few familiar faces to play some of the main characters who helped shape the fate of the late investment bank.

Playing two of the biggest roles: James Cromwell, the character actor known for roles in “L.A. Confidential,” “Babe” and “24,” who will play then-Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr.; and Corey Johnson, who was in “United 93″ and “The Bourne Ultimatum,” who will portray Lehman chief executive Richard S. Fuld Jr.

Haha, a commenter suggests “That guy who says ‘Inconceivable!’ in ‘The Princess Bride’ as Lloyd Blankfein”. Related.

There’s something to say about how he was also Stone’s H.W. but I don’t know what it is. I guess it’s not as important a credential as playing that pig farmer back in the day.
