Billy = Adam DeVine (I low key think his persona is influenced by Billy, Adam Demamp seems drawn from him too, and they all share a derpy physicality I would say)

Mandy = Aubrey Plaza? Doesnt "look" like Mandy at first but April from Parks and Rec seems very Mandy

I don't disagree with your reasoning, but both of them are in their forties.

When has that ever stopped actors from filling those credits?

It might not stop them, but sometimes it should.

Aubrey Plaza came to mind for Mandy before I read the rest of your post. Though given Mandy's age, I'd also like to pitch Jenna Ortega.

Who's Grim? Adam Sandler? /s

would Aubrey wear a wig or die her hair blonde?

edit: she apparently went blonde in 2022. https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a42015668/aubrey-plaza-blonde-hair/

When I first saw Kiernan Shipka as Sabrina I immediately thought she (the actress not the character) had Mandy vibes.

Obviously, Nic Cage as Billy.
