Watch Four A-List Actors Audition for Cher's Role in 'Clueless'

As IF anyone but Alicia Silverstone could ever play Cher Horowitz in "Clueless." The classic '90s comedy, which came out in 1995, recently got the "Casting Call" treatment from W Magazine. Bradley Cooper, Jake Gyllenhaal, Seth Rogen, and Paul Dano auditioned for the role of Cher, reading off a real scene from the script.

Jake launched the reading with a moment of sad (and slightly pretentious) self-awareness:

"I'd like to preface this by saying that what was unfortunate about reading through this for the first time -- and I just would also like to say that I just got this -- is that I realized that I talk like this. Which is a bummer."

Way harsh, Tai! Here's the video:

Who would you cast? From here, Seth Rogen did the best job. By reputation, he's the most comedic of the actors, but he did the most earnest reading -- and mostly to the camera, instead of just reading off the script. Paul Dano's deadpan lack of interest might work for a supporting character who kind of mumbles conspiracy theories about Haitians, but it's not quite right for our beloved Cher.
