Red Dwarf cancelled! :(

While we're on the subject of Red Dwarf, I've been watching the pilots for Red Dwarf USA and they suck... sure, the mish-mash scripts stink, but the piss poor casting was the biggest problem.

So my question to you is, assuming they are going to produce another US bastardization of Red Dwarf (which to my knowledge they aren't, but let's assume they are and there's nothing you can do about it so just answer the fucking question!) who would you cast in the lead roles? Assuming you can use any US based actor/actress currently alive, be they TV or movie actors.

I'd probably go with:

Lister - Jack Black
Rimmer - Steve Carell
Kryten - Ryan Stiles
Kochanski - Elisha Cuthbert (not because she suits the role but, yeahhh, just 'coz she be hawt)
Holly - Leslie Nielsen

I'm really stuck for a Cat. I don't wanna just go down the obvious route and pick a high-profile black dude, just because the British actor is black... but then I can't even think of a white actor who could pull off Cat either.
