Brando: The Biopic....who is worthy?

Having discussed the Brando biopic in our previous post, a dilemma presented itself - who is worthy to play Brando in a biopic if it were made?? Who could handle such a task?? Who could capture the essence that is Brando? Like everyone, here at MFB we have a list of our favorite modern-day actors....Ed Norton, Daniel Day Lewis, Tom Hanks...but are they actors that we could see portraying Brando on the big screen? Not really!

We think the key to any biopic is getting the appearance right. James Franco looked exactly like James Dean, it was almost freaky! Joaquin Phoenix looked and sounded shockingly similar to the country giant Johnny Cash, and Jonathan Rhys Meyers looked really like Elvis, albeit without the trademark voice (he was dubbed throughout the movie with Elvis' real voice). But when it comes to Marlon, who could not only play him, but look like him too?

MFB can't even recall any actors who even look remotely like Brando. Those piercing eyes, that Adonis-like body, those sensuous lips....okay, we're getting ahead of myself, but, you know what we mean! Granted, an actor could go through a massive Method-style transformation to achieve the Brando look; Hollywood could even get special effects involved, Avatar style!

What do you think, bloggers? Who do you want to see play Brando in his on-screen biopic? Or would you even want a 21st century actor making their stake on Brando's life? You decide!
