Burton Film in the Works?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1187 of 1579 |
I ran across a news article last evening about the possibility of a film being
made about Burton's life. There seemed to a bit of a debate as to who would
play Burton. Some thought that the role should only go to a Welsh actor.
Hopkins was mentioned as well as a few younger actors that I'd not heard of. it
seems that Irish actor Gabriel Byrne is the front runner.

Any thoughts from the group as to who should play Burton?

Byrne would probably be okay. He does have that certain intensity to him. I think Hopkins would make a fine "older" Burton, but if the film were to span...
