Well it goes like this, he already uses the same actors for multiple roles. Do you have difficulty differentiating between Brodie and Banky? They are played by the same man, but do we consider them the same? It will be the same only now these characters he creates will have no relation to any of his characters now. Actually I think it is so much more important he uses his stable of actors. He is treading into new territory now, possibly away from the standard dick and fart jokes even. Without the security of familiar story and characters he has to rely on the actors to shine through. And Kevin has done a good job of getting with actors that can do it right, and then convincing them to come back for more and more pictures. It would be folly to try and find a completely new set of actors were they might not be able to pull it off. Stick with what you know.
