Although it's the off-season for SNL, the White House is still currently playing on like some kind of screwball comedy - complete with its own cast of characters.

As we know, Alec Baldwin is still in there as Donald Trump, Kate McKinnon is playing Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the great Melissa McCarthy is out as her real-life counterpart Sean Spicer got the bullet, but one character that hasn't been cast properly is none other than White House henchman / policy adviser Stephen Miller.

As it turns out, there's already someone campaigning for his role in next season of SNL - and it's a guy who knows how to play a henchman for a highly corrupt politician.

That's right, Michael Kelly - better known as Doug Stamper from House of Cards - wants to play Stephen Miller in the next season of SNL.

To be honest, as great and all an actor Kelly is, he's not sleazy or creepy enough to play Stephen Miller. Plus, Miller's only 31, whereas Kelly is 49. Not only that, Kelly's got those incredible eyebrows and that rugged, chiseled jaw-line to cope with as well, whereas Miller looks like the kind of person who frightens small children.

Then again, there's nobody else out there that has more experience playing the lackey to a corrupt, despicable politician than him - so maybe it could work.
