Is Ron Livingston Available?

Scott Adams posted the following:

Suppose there was a Dilbert movie with live actors, not animation. Who would you cast for the main characters?

There's more, but that's the gist.

My answer is in the title, though it might feel a bit of an Office Space remake, but that film is so good, I'd see it again under a different name, anyway.

Kal Penn would be an excellent Dilbert as well. A tech guy being South Asian would be more believable, and nothing about Dilbert in the comics precludes the actor playing him having a non-white background.

The other key role would be the Pointy Haired Boss, that's a tough role to fill, they'd have to be funny looking and short. Jon Lovitz might work but might be a bit old, Jack Black might be a bit too manic, but then again, who knows, he could work out pretty well.

But most importantly, Jeff Bridges would have to be the Garbage Man, no other could do that role justice.
