Who would you cast as Morrissey in a film about his life?

[mcrickson]

wait, no.... Lil Wayne!

T-Pain

the other night Phill said Bruce Campbell from Burn Notice looked like him.

Yay! That would have been my choice. One day I plan to write a z-grade sci-fi movie called "Morrissey Vs. the Martians" starring Bruce Campbell. . . stupid fantasy.

I don't know if anyone agrees, but it just came to me that Quentin Tarantino may be suitable, he's also an oddball character. It would would be an interesting person to play an interesting roll. Not sure if he's quite as subtle as Morrissey haha.

 

[Danielledelu]

Oh..Someone already said Tarantino, well. I agree with you hah

 

[PregnantForTheLastTime]

It's Matt Smith I think.

Yes, that's the guy. Although... the more recently posted one (with the CW tag on the image) was freaky close to the Viva Hate Morrissey. That second picture... I've never seen anyone look that much like him--even the shy smile.

 

[troubleluvsme]

I'd love to see Tarantino give it a shot.

 

[gretchenraine]

Lee Pace!! Nice eyebrows and he's at a good age right now for playing all the ages, too.

 

[Peeks]

Who is that guy? Sorta see it? I see it. Esp. the second picture.

His name is Paul Wesley (had to look it up) but he's from the Vampire Diaries show on the CW. When they show him in shadowy scenes he reminds me of the Seasick Moz video! I'm glad someone else sees the resemblance too!

With a quiff, this guy might pull of a young Morrissey.

Contradictory to what some of you guys think, Daniel Day Lewis looks very Morrissey like. Remember, a biopic is not supposed to be an episode of Stars In Their Eyes! The actor needs to channel the energy, personality of the character and add visual likeness to some extent.

However, I would like to see some new freshly picked talent. I really really loved the black and white film Control about Ian Curtis and his band Joy Division...

 

[joe frady]

Christy Nolan? Hawkeye bloke? Gerry Conlon? Newland Archer? "I drink your MILKSHAKE"? Pieces of piss!
I like to see him try and recreate 'Live In Dallas'.

Young Moz: Got to be Patrick Wolf.

 

[Viva Tom]

2 Years ago iw ould have said Robert Pattinson, but he's too well known as Mr Cullen now. I see the Joaquin Phoenix comparrison, that's a good one.

Lets face it we'll never beat this match...

And how about Mr. Isaak?

 

[Mad Vespa]

Danny Boyle! Did anyone see the Film 4 trailers?!

 

[Mad Vespa]

And how about Mr. Isaak?

Aye - but he doesn't look like that any more!!

I've always thought D.D. Lewis would be fantastic playing Morrissey, and yes, he does look very much like him (even down to his smile lines) except for an admittedly massive difference in the nose. With CG as it is nowadays you wouldn't even need prosthetics -- you could film him as is.

To the user that does the perfect Photoshop mock-ups of Moz as different characters -- do Lewis' face w/Moz nose. Por favor.
