It isn’t uncommon for biopics about legendary musicians to reap Oscar nominations, and sometimes wins.

In the wake of his unfortunate passing, which actor do you think would be most suited to play the late David Bowie in a biopic?

If Tilda is not in the lead role, then the movie is not worth watching.

I mean…what if Fassy was cast against type? I think he could portray Bowie really well. I vote Fassy.

I voted Gleeson simply because he’s such a talent and I feel like he’d do so amazing with him! It would be so transformative. If Todd Haynes did a Bowie bio pic he could do an I’m Not There thing with Tilda!

With a different actor for each of his alter egos and characters…I’d pay to see that with Tilda, Eddie, maybe Idris Elba and Michael Sheen as well

Dane DeHaan! He should have been an option at least!

I’ve never heard of the actor, but after looking him up, he sure bears a striking resemblance to Bowie!

That’s what I like about these types of discussions. There’s a lot of actors people would never think to consider that could potentially make excellent choices.
