@Dragonlordxxxxx you should work in the business man.. good casting skills, some good stories.. time to go to LA you will be our sherdog version of LA LA Land 
I'll share my casting process for Shemar Moore as Mike.Good casting.
Like all except one:
SHEMAR MOORE as MIKE HANLON
I'll share my casting process for Shemar Moore as Mike.
At first it was David Oyelowo (5'9") and Derek Luke (5'10"). Great actors but the more I look at their faces, the more I couldn't get over the fact that they don't look like the child actor Chosen Jacobs.
Another thing was Chosen Jacobs is a big kid and growing fast. Oyelowo and Luke are relatively small and short. So I needed someone that's taller, has a bigger build and looks like Chosen Jacobs. After an exhausting search, Shemar Moore won the role.
He's not quite there age-wise (he's 38) but good choice. I see it.B.J Novak would be good as an adult Eddie Kasprak.

**TIE** ZACH BRAFF as RICHIE TOZIER (Age: 42)

The designated joker among the Losers Club, Richie grew up to become a successful disc jockey in the book. Finding the right actor to play the grown up Richie is a bit hard because the child actor, Finn Wolfhard, has a very distinct facial appearance. But I think Zach Braff nails the look and we know from his stint in Scrubs he can be funny.
**TIE** ASHTON KUTCHER as RICHIE TOZIER (Age: 39)

But if we're talking about an exact match looks-wise to Finn Wolfhard, from the sharp nose to the wide lips to the effeminate facial appearance, Ashton Kutcher is like an aged clone of the child actor. From That '70s Show to Dude, Where's My Car?, we know Ashton can do comedy.
Alternate for Richie: Andy Samberg (Brooklyn Nine-Nine)
You got yourself a like for each casting but this one.
I saw Zach Braff and INSTANTLY thought WIN. The looks and the sense of humor are PERFECT!
Then I saw Ashton Kutcher.
No.... NO.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

If only Ralph Macchio (55) was younger, he'd be my perfect Eddie.Damn, Topher Grace would be a spot on Eddie.
