[hard2please]

reading below about an actress possibly related to geno, i began to wonder when his movie is made, what actor will play him and what will the movie title be?

 

[CTrefugee]

Dustin Hoffman

 

[Huskee11]

Matt Damon starring in "The Pursuit of Perfection".

DeNiro had to put on 50 pounds for Raging Bull, I think Damon can slim down a bit for the early years and then start hitting the buffet line. Plus he is a New England guy. He is 52 and capable of playing roles younger and older than that.

 

[Blond D.]

I gave this some thought and i think Matt Damon would be a good choice.

 

[freekimchee]

Damon is a very good pick but personally I would want someone with Italian roots to play coach. My first choice would be DiCaprio although Boreanaz is the closest visually. However, since Leonardo and David are both six feet tall, I'd probably settle for the super talented Gio Ribisi to play Geno in "HUSKIES".

 

[Monte]

Colin Ford...Uconn Do It

 

[Blond D.]

can't get much closer than that!

 

[Zanzman]

Joe pesci

 

[Aluminny69]

Has to be Frankie Avalon aka Francis Thomas Avallone

9

 

[itsasport]

The Godfather IV played by a computer generated Marlon Brando.

 

[AgStatesman]

While Matt Damon is a good choice - Leonardo is the right answer. Leo can really hit the "are you kidding me with that question?" condescension of early Geno. The movies title - Il Più Grande Allenatore

 

[Skeets]

Danny DeVito

 

[AmeriConn]

Joe Pesci in “Shut The **** Up and Win Games”

 

[oldhusky]

Depends on the movie. If it covers his life, all of it, it might require three actors, Geno the boy, the young adult starting out with Uconn, and the much older coach today. They are pretty amazing with makeup and effects for aging actors, but even if it covered just his coaching career it would be a challenge.

 

[Waquoit]

Jason Sudeikis has the coaching chops.

 

[sun]

I think that it would be a documentary much like the movies about John Wooden & Vince Lombardi.
There wouldn't be any need for an actor to play the role of Geno because it would have the real Geno in it.

 

[veryolddog]

I nomimate Brad Pitt.

 

[CL82]

Meryl Streep!

What? She has range!

 

[Kaizen]

Women Basketball's Story,
Geno Auriemma for sure ....

 

[Martin]

Eric Roberts! I think that’s his name.

 

[JRRRJ]

reading below about an actress possibly related to geno, i began to wonder when his movie is made, what actor will play him and what will the movie title be?

Michael J. Fox -- "Short and slow, always a winner"

 

[Cuango]

Bryan Cranston or (possibly too old) Sir Anthony Hopkins
Actually, Matt Damon would be good too and Joe Pesci would be brilliant!

 

[jcoton56]

I think it would be a good fit for John Leguizamo. Call it “Playing for Keeps”

 

[Huskee11]

Eric Roberts! I think that’s his name.

Ha! I don`t think so - I have seen him play the creepy guy in a bunch of Lifetime movies, and that`s a lot of creepy to overcome.

BUT - if he could get his sister, Julia Roberts, to play Chris Dailey, well maybe then we got a package deal!

David Boreanaz, "I did it my way"

 

[Jaml]

My first thought was Joe Pesci, but I am fairly confident that Geno would be best at playing himself.

 

[FairView]

NBC Connecticut News Anchor Kevin Nathan makes his acting debut as Geno in "It's Good to Be Bad for Basketball"

 

[Blond D.]

you people do realize Geno is a tad over 6 feet tall.

 

[From France]

Unbeaten or The Dinasty, I'd like o be played by Matt Damon - It shoukd be at least a serie of 6 movies
1 - from the beginning to 1991
2. 1992-1995
3. 1996 -2004
4. 20005-2012
5. 2012-2016
6. counting years

 

[wingsfan055]

Johnny Depp is the obvious choice. He has the same voice and mannerisms, great black hair, same sense of humor, etc.
