[Tropic Thunder] Kirk Lazarus picks up the role of Simple Jack before Tugg Speedman. Does he go "Full-Retard?"

No. The thing about Lazarus is that he will go as crazy as he has to to execute *his vision* for the character, and his vision won't include going "full". He'd craft an "inspirationally challenged" persona per his conversations in the jungle, and be ready to fight tooth and nail against any attempt to shove him into "full" from the production (and would use all his wits and knowledge to fight that push; he talks a lot of shit about not breaking character until they record the commentary, but he breaks character a *lot* in the jungle). If push came to shove, there's a high chance he'd go full primadonna, storm off the set, lawyer up, or otherwise engage in high profile shenanigans. Instead of becoming an infamous box office flop, Simple Jack might instead become an infamous troubled production as either A) Lazarus wins, Jack is effectively rewritten into a Forest Gump/Rain Man-esque character against the director's wishes (a la Cool World) or B) the director wins, Lazarus gets shitcanned, the "Full Jack" version is made with a different actor at great expense, and people argue forever over which version would have been better (a la Superman 2).
