'Elf's' Casting Director Would Recast Will Ferrell's Buddy For A Remake, And She Already Has Another 'SNL' Star In Mind

There’s no denying that "Elf" is one of those Christmas movies that's great for the whole family. It's honestly perfect as is, but there's always the chance that it could be redone. If a remake of the beloved holiday classic were to happen, its casting director, Susie Farris, does apparently know who she could picture wearing the festive North Pole attire as Buddy the Elf instead of Will Ferrell. Here’s a hint: he's a beloved actor who also delighted audiences through his work on "Saturday Night Live."

It’s been twenty years since the phenomenal "Elf" introduced audiences to Buddy, a human raised as an elf in the North Pole who sets out to meet his biological father in the Big Apple. The Anchorman star breathed incredible life into the character, but Susie Farris has a solid pick for a star that could handle a reboot. She told People that she could see none other than Bill Hader stepping into the role and explained why.
