How would YOU cast a re-make of 12 Angry Men? No budget limits, living actors only.

I know 12 Angry Men is a title in the CJ list for this sub, so assuming the mods allow this post ...

Ignoring who would direct, produce, etc., which 12 living actors would you cast in a re-make/re-imagining of 12 Angry Men, the 1957 classic.

The original cast:

• Martin Balsam ... Juror 1
• John Fiedler ... Juror 2
• Lee J. Cobb ... Juror 3
• E.G. Marshall ... Juror 4
• Jack Klugman ... Juror 5
• Edward Binns ... Juror 6
• Jack Warden ... Juror 7
• Henry Fonda ... Juror 8
• Joseph Sweeney ... Juror 9
• Ed Begley ... Juror 10
• George Voskovec ... Juror 11
• Robert Webber ... Juror 12

Don't think you have to cast only male actors, there are plenty of female actors with the gravity and 'chops' to add weight to each scene.

Bonus points for 'themed' cast lists, e.g. all female, or British only, or under 30/40/50 only, or 'have appeared in movies directed by Wes Craven/Alan Smithee'. Also, bonus points if you can massage the genre with your cast list, e.g. "Western court room drama", "Sci-fi court room drama", "Rom-com court room drama".

Thanks for playing - see my list(s) in the comments.
