The cast of “The Princess Bride” is reuniting for a virtual table read to raise money for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.

The virtual event will take place at 6 p.m. Sept. 13, four days before absentee ballots are scheduled to be sent out across the state.

According to the Wisconsin State Journal, the idea came after the former cast of "The West Wing" reunited to promote When We All Vote, the voter registration initiative co-chaired by former first lady Michelle Obama.

Cary Elwes, who played Westley in the film, is a childhood friend of a staffer of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, according to the Journal.

14. Loved the film The scene where Vizzini is trying to figure out which cup has the poison is classic!

A friend convinced me to go see this "fairy tale" to my objection.. A kids movie? nah... Boy was I wrong. And that easter egg of Billy Crystal as Miracle Max ...... too cool.

[BumRushDaShow]

15. Could you imagine the Republicans doing something equivalent?

It's - inconceivable!!

Maybe they could reunite the cast of the 'Atlas Shrugged' movies. Like anyone would care.

[Polybius]

18. Maybe The Expendables cast too

That's about it.

[heckles65]

20. Or as I called the series

"Bunch of fading actors needing to make an alimony payment."

[IrishEyes]

19. They would have to do an episode of Duck Dynasty or 19 Kids and Counting.

It would have to be a "reality" show. There are very few actors that are trump supporters. Scott Baio could film himself alone while reciting his lines from Happy Days I guess. Kelsey Grammar and Kirstie Alley are both trump supporters so they could do an episode of Cheers without any of the good characters like Norm, Sam, Woody and Carla.
