The Spin-Off: Sure, Tropic Thunder's Len Grossman is a stellar choice for a spin-off, as announced earlier this month; arguably, though, there’s a better candidate from the same film.
Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey Junior), the hottest actor on the planet, feels creatively unfulfilled. So he devises a new venture.
Lazarus will ‘play’ a real-life person, 24-7, somewhere in America. The first person to spot him wins £10 million – but Lazarus is confident nobody will cash in.
Cue an extraordinary existential rom-com, as Lazarus slips into anonymity as a paraplegic female librarian.
Key Scene: ‘Doris Slater’ falls in love with a colleague, but breaks down in tears as (s)he admits he can’t have children. “They sewn me up down there,” she sobs, pulling down her skirt to prove the lack of vagina.

Yeah all rubbish there is only one character in a film that deserves a spin off...... Sir Ben as Don Logan in Sexy Beast. Ok I know he's dead but couldn't there be a prequel or something, please... just entertain the thought!

A Gay Perry spin-off would work, definitely.

Great minds think alike, I guess. But you're getting a bit slow, TF, I did a similar list 5 days ago - different choices though: http://www.smartinnameonly.co.cc/2010/06/12/10-great-supporting-characters-who-deserve-their-own-spin-offs/

Is this list a spin-off of the list of cameo characters who deserve a spin off that Empire posted a few days ago? Sounds like a popular topic right now....thanks Tom Cruise.

Well, I'm going to have to go ahead and suggest Bill Lumbergh from Office space. Frankly Gary Cole is a comedy god.
