DISCWORLD MOVIE Casting Couch

The Bursar

Whoops! Here comes Mr. Jelly!

The Bursar is a wizard at Unseen University.

He is in essence a wizards staff short of a knob. The Bursar is very highly strung due possibly to Ridcully yelling "BURSAR!" every five minutes. Cured briefly by HEX (the university's thinking machine) the Bursar has fallen into the old habit of requiring dried frog pills to survive.

The Bursar seems to enjoy the world he lives in, being a world of pink fluffy clouds and at one point... surfing.


Possible Casting: Robin Williams, Mel Brooks, Christopher Lloyd, Andrew Sachs (Fawlty Towers), David Hyde-Pierce (Niles from "Frasier"), Eric Idle, Don Knotts.
