Fancast of an "A Little Life" mini-series. Also, I know that Rami Malek is the Jude St. Francis of all of our hearts, but I would imagine that they'd cast actors for the core four who are in their 30s and then makeup/CGI them to look younger and older by ten years like they did in "The Irishman". And Rami is starting to get to the higher age range. So I tried to think of a few slightly younger options, though Rami is still in there as an option. And then I added a Young Harold, because I think it would be impossible to age the main Harold down THAT much via CGI and makeup for the flashbacks with Leisl and Jacob.
