REAL people casting thread

[Mistress Kizuna]

I just realized that Sienna Miller could make a pretty good Lynette Fromme/Squeaky if a movie on the Manson Girls gets made. She just has that kind of boho hippie look to her, and for some reason, I just think she'd really pull it off.

Kelsey Grammar as Bob Hope

 

[Chris Wallace]

Grammar as Hope could work.

Lawrence Fishburne as Robert F Williams

Explained by one of my old history professors as mid way between MLKs extreme passiveness and Malcom Xs extreme aggression who was too middle ground to be included in history books. Pretty interesting guy.

Steve Coogan

as

Tiny Tim

 

[That-Guy]

I've always wanted to see a film made about the early 90's grunge/alternative music era, focusing on all the major players (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, STP, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, etc.).

Seth Gabel would make a perfect Billy Corgan:

 

[Chris Wallace]

You know somebody they need to STOP casting as all the real people? Angela Bassett. Voletta Wallace, Katherine Jackson, Betty Shabazz & Tina Turner don't look NOTHIN' Alike. So why are they all being played by the same damn person?

 

[PyroChamber]

Steve Coogan

as

Tiny Tim

Actually I think he'd be a good Tim Burton.

 

[Silvermoth]

I could sort of see Hugh Jackman as Clint Eastwood.

 

[Laderlappen]

Zooey Deshanel as Janis Joplin!

 

[cerealkiller182]

Is that still happening?

 

[Eggyman]

Christian Bale as...

 

[Eddie Dean]

Paul Bettany as David Bowie

 

[Chris Wallace]

Christian Bale as...

Why? The lack of an upper lip?

 

[Eggyman]

I just think he could pull it off.

Edit: But if he did play him, Bale-Bush would find WOMD because he is awesome.

 

[That-Guy]

Bale was apparently supposed to play Bush in W, but backed out due to not wanting to wear prosthetics or something. I'm glad he didn't. The last thing I want to be reminded of when I watch Batman is George W. Bush.

 

[Eggyman]

'I swear to Allah we don't have any WOMD.'

'Swear to MEEEEE!'

 

[Chris Wallace]

That's funny.
How about Denzel as Barack Obama?

 

[MadVillainy]

^^^No

 

[The Chairman]

Milo Ventimiglia as a young Sinatra:

 

[Laderlappen]

I think some of you dont understand the topic. Its 'REAL people casting' not 'which actor looks like a famous person'.

 

[Chris Wallace]

I think some of you dont understand the topic. Its 'REAL people casting' not 'which actor looks like a famous person'.

Meaning, do you believe the actor could do the role justice? Same as when you're trying to cast superheroes.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Hmmm....

Will Smith as Obama, or Denzel.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Hmmm....

Will Smith as Obama, or Denzel.

I lean more towards Denzel, but I can see Willard pulling it off. Obama has a very powerful voice, which Denzel can do.

 

[The Chairman]

This kind of a weird thing to say, but Denzel looks too manly for Obama.
