Seth Rogen, Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano and Bradley Cooper are taking on the Haitian crisis, 1995 style.
W Magazine’s awesome “Casting Call” series is a role-reversal on-the-fly audition reel of classic movie characters, featuring Hollywood’s finest.
In this installment, the actors were invited to take on Jewish princess Cher Horowitz’s iconic “Clueless” debate monologue, which still seems incredibly apt in light of the current Syrian refugee crisis.
It has been 21 years since “Clueless” first hit the silver screen, so, let us refresh your memory with the original:

What do you think? Who is your fave male Cher Horowitz?
