Who will play Donald Trump in the film?

[smirkymonkey]

I would say James Spader. If you have ever seen Spader play an arrogant dick in a film, I think you would agree. Plus, the resemblance is uncanning. You can't tell from this photo, but Spader does the same thing with his lips that Trump does.

[crazycatlady]

1. Someone just as sleazy as the man himself

Harvey Weinstein.

[smirkymonkey]

3. But Spader has the looks and the attitude of a young Trump.

Have you ever seen him in Pretty in Pink? He was this spoiled, rich, abusive brat - I almost think he modeled himself on Trump.

[C_U_L8R]

2. This guy...

[flotsam]

4. Gary Busey? N/T

[left-of-center2012]

5. yes

[gratuitous]

13. Marty Feldman's dead

Steve Buscemi? Javier Bardem with an even worse haircut than he had in "No Country for Old Men"? I'll bet Ron Perlman could come up with some suitably grotesque make up job.

34. Although I can't stand him, and I think he's a lousy actor,

he may not be that bad a choice to play the POS now squatting in the Oval Office

[JonLP24]

6. Alex Baldwin

The Principal from Back to the Future will play Putin.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. He'd be very good!

[FakeNoose]

8. The photo of Spader is at least 30 years old

He looked like that in the 1980's, certainly not now.

My guess is the movie maker would want a guy who looks like that now, to play Trump in his mid 30's to early 40's. How about Alexander Skarsgard, who's 6'4" and about 40 years old. He starred in The Legend of Tarzan, and the True Blood series. He's Swedish but he's been making American movies and TV series for at least 10 years, maybe longer.

[FakeNoose]

9. James Spader - then and now

[smirkymonkey]

11. Oh wow, he did not age well at all.

Well, so much for that role.

[FakeNoose]

12. He's a decent actor

... he could play Trump as an old man.

But the real story (if they ever make a movie of his life) is what happened in his 30's and and they'd want a younger guy for that role. Usually the director starts out with a younger actor, and then use makeup and prosthetics to make him look older.

[TexasBushwhacker]

14. What's a 57 year old supposed to look like? n/t

[smirkymonkey]

15. I mean compared to what he looked like when he was younger.

He doesn't look like an older version of himself, he looks like a completely DIFFERENT person.

[Leith]

10. Here Are a Few Suggestions

All serious, I swear.

Bruce Willis

Bryan Cranston

Ron Jeremy

[GallopingGhost]

18. Ron Jeremy.

[doc03]

35. If their is anything to the myth about hands Ron's must be huuuuge.

[GallopingGhost]

44. I'm sure Trump is

very jealous of Ron Jeremy's....hands.

[red dog 1]

36. Bruce Willis is a terrible actor, imo

More than a dozen women have come forward with sexual assault allegations against Ron Jeremy
(much like Trump in that respect)

As far as Bryan Cranston, he tells people who want Trump to fail: "Fuck You!"

[Leith]

42. That's Why They're All Perfect

to play him in the movie.

[RobinA]

16. Spader

is a good actor and he does insincere like nobody's business, but I don't see him doing dumb.

[GallopingGhost]

17. I love Spader.

I would hate to see him play Trump.

[elleng]

19. Who ELSE?

[red dog 1]

20. Kevin Spacey?

(A perv playing another perv)

Actually, James Spader would be a good choice, imo.

[red dog 1]

21. James Spader, Alec Baldwin or Denis Leary

[VOX]

22. Denis Leary would be a solid choice. n/t

[red dog 1]

38. Denis Leary is a good actor, and he's young enough to play a young Drumpf,

as well as an older Drumpf (with "pillows" to make him look fat)

[jmowreader]

23. Vincent d'Onofrio would be perfect

He's a big guy who excels at playing psychopaths and assholes.

Imagine Trump with that rifle.

[red dog 1]

31. He's a very good actor who can play different roles & can even look different in different roles

For example, his role as Pvt."Pyle" in Full Metal Jacket is totally different from the character he played in "Men in Black".

I think he would be great playing Drumpf.

[Still Blue in PDX]

32. I had a bit of a crush on Vincent d'Onofrio when he was on L&O, so it's a bit disturbing to think

about him as drumpf.

He's an excellent actor, though, and as previously stated, he does batshit crazy really, really well.

[tblue37]

24. William Shatner--he's got the look (and the waistline). nt

[smirkymonkey]

25. Actually, that might not be a bad choice. I could see it.

[red dog 1]

33. Shatner is now 86 years old

(But he looks good for his age)

[democratisphere]

26. Carrot Top.

[red dog 1]

39. Got to be the least funny stand-up comic ever, imo

and I doubt if he can act, either.

[democratisphere]

40. Doesn't that make him perfect for the job.

Total loser.

[red dog 1]

41. Good point!

[Rhiannon12866]

43. Yes! I have often thought that he would make equal sense as POTUS

[Sneederbunk]

27. John Goodman

[Corvo Bianco]

28. Danny DeVito on stilts

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

29. But on a "tall" DeVito, won't his hands look too small? nt :)

[Glorfindel]

30. John Malkovich, but he'd have to be wearing a bad toupee

to pull it off:

[doc03]

37. This dude

That may be better for Limbaugh.
