Russell Crowe to Play the Late, Great Bill Hicks?

19 08 2008

err…  I’m kinda hopin’ not.   Crowe seems to be one of the most tame, mainstream style actors out there.  He’s good but he’s always the same character, no?   If he really is taking on this role I hope he proves me wrong of course.

Doug Stanhope would be great in that role but maybe he’s already to similar?   Other people I could see playing Bill Hicks would be  Joe Rogan or Seth Rogen.

You really think that Joe Rogna could do Hicks justice? Having him play Hicks would be like having Pamela Anderson playing The Queen.

Heh. Yeah you’re totally right. Good analogy, too. He has the bravato of Hicks’ voice and insight but not his eloquence.

How about Alex Jones as Bill Hicks? They’re both from Austin and scream a lot.

And, yeah, Crowe WILL stink. Guy can shout, but he cannot portray Hicks Intelligence or Belief. Merry Christmas all.
