Exactly. Stine and Stone are two different guys. They shouldn't look like identical twins -- that would just be an unnecessary distraction. What noted fiction writer has ever used his own picture or likeness as the face of his main character, unless the story is a camouflaged autobiography? Has that ever been the intent of City of Angels? I think it would be a mistake to take such a radical approach when committing to film such a well-regarded stage musical. Just IMO.

But then how come every other character in the "real life" part of the show has a counterpart in the film part played by the same actor? Are you saying that's silly too? Isn't that actually ignoring the entire conceit of the show? In that sense, I think the movie version of the show would be able to do the one thing the stage show couldn't - give Stine his screen counterpart.
