Who should play Michael Jackson in the inevitable Bio-Pic?

Perkinsun Dzees · 06-13-05, 10:15 PM

I think the kid from RAY could probably play Michael as a child and then I'm thinking maybe Hilary Swank would play him as an adult -- though her skin may be too dark. Any other good suggestions?

I doubt that any Jackson film will be in the works anytime soon.

One of the Wayans.

Or Samuel L. Jackson for comedy effect.

Michael Clarke Duncan, with Dakota Fanning as Macauley Culkin.

Culkin's an actor remember. He can play himself. Ditto for Feldman

No one could ever effectively portray the beast that Micheal Jackson has become.

PopcornTreeCt · 06-13-05, 11:59 PM

There are plenty of Michael Jackson biopics already.

Seantn · 06-14-05, 12:42 AM

The one that VH1 did last year is the ULTIMATE movie going experience. PERIOD.

Either Kevin Bacon or John Turturro in full-on Jesus mode.

Not that he would ever do it, but I think Johnny Depp would make a great Michael Jackson.

In a Benny and Joon II kind of way?

SiberianLlama · 06-14-05, 06:09 AM

I was actually thinking more along the lines of an Edward Scissorhands II kind of way

That fucking kid on Nip/Tuck.

Third Baseman · 06-14-05, 06:16 AM

His name is John Hensley...

popest · 06-14-05, 07:19 AM

Victoria Beckham.

The resemblance is uncanny

Charlie Goose · 06-14-05, 08:19 AM

Amy Poehler

wendersfan · 06-14-05, 08:43 AM

Lindsay Lohan.

John Hensley. Could he do the voice, I wonder?

It's a difficult role. Skinny black man with a great voice and a wonderful dancer, with an elf-like nose? That's a challenge!

Yeah, like Scooby-Doo, I think you'd have to go CGI.
