If you could choose who would play FB in a movie, who would it be?

I might go with Kevin James, but, Philip Seymour Hoffman seems like a better choice.

Strangely enough, Vince Vaughn. He had his hair slicked back in The Breakup and he looked like a younger Charles. I think they would have to shrink him (digitally or with trick photography) because is a lot taller than Frank Black is.

This was posted before, but I can't find the thread:

http://www.contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.nsf/mndwebpages/black%20wants%20weird%20glover%20to%20play%20him

BLACK WANTS 'WEIRD' GLOVER TO PLAY HIM

PIXIES frontman FRANK BLACK would love actor CRISPIN GLOVER to play him in a biopic, because he's the only screen star odd enough to do the role justice.

The 40-year-old rocker isn't concerned that the CHARLIE'S ANGELS actor looks nothing like him, because they share a similar outlook on life which would bring far more to the part than superficial appearance.

Black says, "He doesn't look anything like me, but I think he could pull it off somehow. He's one of my favourite actors.

"There's plenty of weird affectations and mannerisms of mine that he could incorporate into his performance."

In '87 I had a girlfriend who was fairly obsessed with Crispin. At that time (according to her) he lived on the top floor of the big apartment building at Yucca/Whitley in Hollywood. She said the walls were painted black.

Why is having a bald head more important than acting and singing ability? Remember: we have the technology these days to actually shave the hair off fully haired actors. *Gasp*

It'd need to be 2 or 3 actors. Physical appearance is HUGE in biopics. You'd need one guy for Young Kid To College, then another for Pixies era, and another for now. Or you'd need some freak like Christian Bale to gain a bunch of weight and then lose it; he could play both of the last two eras. Technology isn't close to good enough to realistically (and drastically) change an actor's visage.

I think Christopher Cross could play him.

Except he's like 15 years older than Frank. But still.

Kyle Gass. I don't know who the actress is in the picture, but she can be Kim Deal. :)

If Chiklis isn't available, perhaps the great Michael Berryman would be.

Kevin James, maybe...



He doesn't look like him very much in that picture, but if you've seen King Of Queens you know what he looks like. If you haven't, google image search is good.

TRANS, when I first read that I thought maybe you were kidding, but then tonight I saw William Hurt in "Battleground" ( from Stephen King's Nightmares & Dreamscapes ) and I think you're right.

Thanks Jimmy. Bill Hurt is too old (and tall and skinny), but they share those weird facial tics that scare and amuse you at the same time.

He's dearly departed, but I think Frank would have really dug Burl stepping into his shoes...
