Who plays Joseph Smith?

Post by _JoetheClerk »

If you are producing your movie about Joseph Smith, who do you get to play the part?

Tom Hanks, Sylvester Stallone or someone else?

I suppose it would depend on whether you wanted to see drama or a documentary. Here's a short list:

Bruce Dern (c'mon, he was in John Wayne's The Cowboys)

Johnny Knoxville

Charlie Sheen

Larry the Cable Guy

Flip Wilson

Boyd K. Packer

Adam West

Danny DeVito

Charlton Heston

Gwenyth Paltro

Rowan Atkinson

I think each of them could bring their own God given talent and flare to the roll.

Who would play the wives?
I think it would be morally right to lie about your religion to edit the article favorably.

Nehor, your accusation of drunkness is very offensive.

That would be a tough one. I had to think about that. It'd be good to bring home the difficulty of taking on an extra wife.

Ernest Borgnine

Jaba the Hut

Jane Fonda

I'm taking a bit of artistic lisence here, but I'd like to see one of them say no, and really mean it with a knuckle sandwich.

I'm stereotyping here but I think I'd typecast Richard Simmons as the angel with the flaming sword even if he can't really act.

I'd get Mystery from VH1's The Pickup Artist. They use a different path to seduce women but the result is the same.

I don't know who should play Joseph Smith, but here is the perfect theme song for the SOB:

Apparently Joseph had quite the temper, so I nominate Christian Bale.
