Marky Mark making a Caron Butler movie?!?!

Wahlberg does have a history of using the actual person. In the Mickey Ward movie Mickey's actual trainer (forget his name) played himself. Seems totally possible given Wahlberg's history.

I think it would be a mistake to have Calhoun play himself. The man is many things, but I don't think an actor is one of them. I bet he'd be a great consultant though.

And the story just keeps getting better.

Butler was at the White House recently for the "Champions of Change Law Enforcement and Youth" meeting, and he was accompanied by an old friend, Rick Geller, the Wisconsin police officer that Butler credits with saving his life.

If you were a betting man, this guy would be odds on favorite:

 

[David 76]

Mark could play the cop.

I vote for Meryl Streep to play Calhoun. She is great with accents and she could play anybody.

 

[KembaStepback]

What about John Doman? He's about the right age to play a mid-90s Jimmy C. Plus he's also a Wire alum.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

I think Aziz Ansari gets the first shot at the Calhoun role.

James Earl Jones

He's playing Selvie.

Boris McGiver as Calhoun? he played Tom Hammerschmidt in season 1 of House of Cards

I love Michael B. Jordan as an actor. Awesome in FNL and the trailers to "Creed" look sick. However, he is like 5'10 if that. Can't Mark get an actor who is taller than 6'3? Come on!

 

[MexicoHusky]

I'll struggle watching any actor who can't recreate the way Caron runs. That sorta 3/4 stride thing he does. Maybe there won't be a lot of running shots.

Depending on how large a role Calhoun has in the movie, I wonder if they'd consider asking him to play himself. If it's only a few scenes, I'm sure he'd do great.

May need subtitles
