a marciano biopic casting

[jimbraddock]

not sure if this is the right area for a thread like this but if it isnt let me know.

who would be a good actor to play marciano?

I would personally like to see mark ruffalo. hes a great actor, hes italian, and he used to wrestle in high schoold so he might be used to the physical demands of such a role.

any other ideas?

I dont think anyone could really do Marciano justice. Same with Will Smith playing Ali, how on earth they managed to make a movie about one of the most entertaining men in history and make a two hour borathon is beyond me.

maybe will smith would so better as marciano...

Maybe if Bruce Lee was still alive...

Joe Mesi could give it a go (switch to orthodox mind), at least he was a boxer. I was thinking of the Sopranos guy initially but he's a bit of a fatty DD

Whatever happen to Mesi ? Undefeated as late as 2004, why he stop fighting ? Eye injury or other type of injury ? anyone know.

Troo Dat!

[yancey]

Wouldn't Stallone (circa first Rocky film) be a reasonable choice?

I'm saying reasonable, not perfect.
