(Now I know some of you have zero knowledge or intrest about the person mentioned below but if you don't just ignore it...the question is for those who do.)

Quote:

Variety-
"Director James Mangold, who directed GIRL, INTERRUPTED, has set his sights on his next project - a biopic of legendary country singer Johnny Cash..... Mangold is in the casting stage now and is having considerable difficulty finding someone who can portray the Man in Black from the age of 20 to 38 convincingly."


Now the question - to those of you who have some familiarality with the young Cash....

Am I crazy or Does Nathan Filion have EXACTLY the look necessary to play Cash?

About three times an episode I would say to myself "It's spooky how much I can see Cash in him" and that was just a random thought before I knew a movie was in the works.
He doesn't look EXACTLY like him (how many actors in biopics look EXACTLY like their subject - did you see the Martin & Lewis TV film?) but properly done he is far and away better than anyone else could be.

the scene where he asked Niska "You want to see the real me now?" was almost like he was channeling the drug-affected Cash of the 60's...

Anyway, I'm rambling. But am I alone on this?

I sincerly wish that those of you who are connected enough to send e-mails directly to important Firefly folks would either share Fillion's e-mail addy with me (if it's public knowledge) or forward the idea to him for me.

He NEEDS to audition for the part.

Sory to get so non-Firefly in this post.
