Who would you cast as Morrissey in a film about his life?
- Thread starter Fulham Road Lights
- Start date
Poppy Full

Perhaps Joaquin Phoenix? There is a pretty strong resemblance, and he did his singing bit in Walk The Line. Although he did recently announce retirement.
My mother watched Walk The Line recently, and said the same thing.

There is no one beautiful and handsome enough - or with a streak of wild naturedness about them.
However, there is one person that comes a lowly 'second' - no offence intended. But I will cast . . . .
JONATHAN RHYS-MEYERS
He is a blue blood Irish actor with real blue eyes, and can portray a 'wild' natured character with subliminal excellence.
JR-M - will be my choice for my film.

...and suddenly, a Morrissey biopic seems like the greatest idea since sliced bread.

I'd say James Dean, but since that's not quite possible, I'll have to go with Joaquin Phoenix as well.
Actually, if I really had to cast someone, I'd go to Ireland and post a casting call - find NEW talent!

This is a good choice, too. I mean, he was good as a young Elvis. I think he could pull it off if he had to. I feel the same as you do, though - I don't know of any actors who are as beautiful and talented as Morrissey. That's why I'd have to look for someone new...

Grr, iknowright, this thread is making me get my hopes up for something that probably hasn't even been put on the table yet

Hideous trait.
Blatantly this guy
Hell. No. BTW, the guy at far right looks like a Joey impersonator.

I don't know if Day-Lewis could be "made down" to look young enough, but he's certainly a good enough actor to do Morrissey justice. Except that portraying Morrissey would require a fundamental understanding of Morrissey and I don't think anyone has that, not even Himself.
He has been looking quite Moz-esque recently.
Perhaps Joaquin Phoenix? There is a pretty strong resemblance, and he did his singing bit in Walk The Line. Although he did recently announce retirement.
Phoenix could do it, if the sacrilege of a Californian playing Morrissey could be borne.
The point is that resemblance in a still photograph is only a fragment of what is needed. We need to see how the actor comes alive as Morrissey.
But I'm not sure there should be a film about Morrissey. That's why there are albums. Just go listen to those, he put everything in there.

My sister has been pestering the world with Dr. Who updates on Facebook. She said the new Dr. should play Morrissey. Any thoughts?

Well, sadly he's almost out of a job, isn't he? Hmmm, I quite like David Tennant, but I'm not sure he'd give Morrissey justice. He's got great hair, though!!

Still here.

Me too- if I was casting a biopic I'd probably look for an unknown first before going with anyone 'already famous'.

I meant the new guy, the next Dr. I don't know if the new season is on in the UK, though. I can't remember his name.

Granny from Beverly Hillbillies would have been great. Since she's not around I would cancel the film.
wait, no.... Lil Wayne!

I'm not saying that he looks EXACTLY like him but I think this guy kinda resembles a young Morrissey, he just needs a little makeover and you can sorta see it. eh?
Who is that guy? Sorta see it? I see it. Esp. the second picture.
