[CL82]

Paul Riser - Chasing Perfection

Yeah he'll need a toupee.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Josh Brolin. Not exactly a dead wringer, but with the right hair do they could kinda make him look like Geno, and he's a fantastic actor. He did a dead on impersonation of Tommy Lee Jones in Men In Black III, I think he could pull off playing Geno as well.

De Niro is now too old and way too tired. But the De Niro of 15 years ago or so, when he was doing Analyze This and Meet the Won't Print films would have be perfect.

But since he can't, let's make it funny and very intense:

 

[trb123]

Name of the movie:

An Arduous Yellow Brick Road

 

[UConnNick]

Movie title: "Almost Perfect".

Ray Liotta plays Geno. The only other actor I can think of who could pull it off is Denis Leary, but he's not Italian. Both of them could epitomize his brash, Philly wise guy personna. Copying the hair would be critical, and the ubiquitous running of his fingers through the hair would have to be nailed down by any actor in the role.

 

[mbr33ct]

Movie title: "GENO"
Actor: Al Pacino.

 

[LasVegasYank]

<<Movie title: "GENO"
Actor: Al Pacino. >>

He's too tall.

 

[mbr33ct]

<<Movie title: "GENO"
Actor: Al Pacino. >>

He's too tall.

Who is? Just checked. Al Pacino is 5'-7"...and can it be Geno is 6'-1"???

 

[ctfjr]

Peter Dinklage -
The Real Game of Thrones

 

[HuskyBandDad]

Pacino.
Geno the Godfather of Basketball

 

[JustinesGuy]

Gene Hackman circa 1985 of course.

 

[augustaTC]

Richard Gere...he's got the hair

 

[Bigpetunia]

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, minus the eye makeup.

 

[HuskyBandDad]

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, minus the eye makeup.

LOL

 

[JustinesGuy]

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, minus the eye makeup.

Ha ha. She does look a touch mean

 

[UConnNick]

Geno is 5-10 at best. He makes Lobo remove her heels to interview him, and she still towers over him. Pacino would have to wear lifts, which he probably does anyway. I think Burt Reynolds is also about 5-7. I saw him up close in person once. The man is really short.

 

[LasVegasYank]

How about Geno playing Geno? They could dye his hair for the scenes earlier in his career (and maybe add a hairpiece).

 

[chj001]

Hoosier Daddy? Why, Gene Hackman of course. Aside from his height (6'2") and age (88), he'd be perfect. He's already mastered the acerbic basketball coach and He has 3/4 of the name down pat.

 

[Aluminny69]

Francis Avallone. who else?

 

[Blue Huskie]

LOL - By the time that movie gets made it might very well be an actor we haven't heard of yet.
