That's the question with Dr. Strangelove. Any ideas? Is there a comedic actor working today good enough to play all three of Peter Sellers' roles? Who would you pick to bring the funny if they ever updated the film?

Personally, I can't picture anyone beside Peter Sellers doing all those roles.
I know who they would try to cast: Jim Carrey... and that's about as close as they would be able to get.
To be honest there's just so many roles in that film that only worked because of the actors they had available. There's no modern George C. Scott, much in the same way as there's no modern Peter Sellers.
Yeah, I'd say Jim Carey and Steve Carell would probably be approached, even though neither of them is good enough to fill Sellers' shoes.
