Who will play Rudy Giuliani in the inevitable movie about this election

[Siwsan]

I honestly can't come up with anyone who could physically pull it off. The insanity part could easily be handled by Jim Carey.

[OriginalGeek]

1. I vote Danny DeVito

[sfstaxprep]

35. First One I Thought Of As Well nt

[dware]

2. James Woods or Jon Voight? nt

[GoCubsGo]

3. Kate MacKinnon.

[empedocles]

20. yes, yes

[11 Bravo]

21. For the win! She nails him.

[grumpyduck]

4. For sheer acting talent,

I'd say Robert deNiro.

[Glamrock]

5. Kate McKinnon?

Her Rudy impressions on SNL are hilarious!

[Teach29]

6. Paul Giamatti could do it. n/t

[DFW]

33. Paul Giamatti was my choice as well.

I think he could pull off Giuliani's descent into madness perfectly.

[tblue37]

7. Rudy would demand to play himself. He is sooo desperate for attention.

[dware]

8. Jon Voight is probably close to Rudy physically and mentally. nt

[bronxiteforever]

9. I say William Dafoe & he can use his "Shadow of the Vampire" make up

[miyazaki]

47. Nailed it.

[tblue37]

10. With a LOT of makeup and fake teeth John Lithgow could do it.

[unblock]

11. Jack Nicholson

[Brother Buzz]

23. He's been promised the role of the orange anus if he can just put on forty more pounds

[safeinOhio]

24. My first thought too.

[LastDemocratInSC]

12. Marty Feldman but, alas, he is not with us.

[CatMor]

13. Steve Buscemi

[LeftInTX]

17. Yep, him!

[JackSabbath]

22. Yesssss!

.

[Mike 03]

14. Joe Pesci

with lifts and platform heels.

[tblue37]

15. If he were still alive, David Ogden Stiers could do it, again, with makeup and fake teeth.

[Disaffected]

16. Boris Karloff

He is a little dessicated by now but would otherwise be fine.

[Dave Starsky]

18. Martin Short

His Nathan Thurm character, lawyer to the tobacco companies, is essentially Giuliani.

[yonder]

19. John Lithgow, hands down.

[newdayneeded]

25. Gary Busey

Hands down

[LSFL]

26. +1000

[doc03]

30. Yep that's the one. nt

[Buns_of_Fire]

45. Definitely. First person I thought of. nt

[Bayard]

27. I vote for Lithgow

He does crazy and venomous very well.

[Elwood P Dowd]

28. Werner Klemperer (nt)

[doc03]

31. Colonel Klink was likable Rudy is deplorable. General

Burkhalter would make a good Bill Barr.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

29. Daffy Duck!!

[librechik]

32. Steve Buscemi has the figure, but he's too nice.

Kevin Spacey is despicable enough.

[madamesilverspurs]

34. Armin Shimerman

aka Quark




.

[crickets]

42. aka Principal Snyder of Sunnydale High. Great choice! nt

[The empressof all]

36. I think Johnny Depp could pull it off..

He has that frenetic crazy energy thing going.

[RainCaster]

37. Bobcat Goldthwait

You need someone who can do real insanity, Bobcat does it VERY well.

[CanonRay]

38. Only Jack Nicholson can do crazy that well

[Niagara]

39. I'm positive that there will be more than 1 movie about this crapshow.

I believe that John Malkovich, Mandy Patinkin or Stanley Tucci would be excellent choices to play Rudy.



I never try to dismiss a potential actor for any potential role because of the amazing makeup that they have. They once turned Johnny Depp into Whitey Bulger for the movie Black Mass and Donald Two Scoops tRump for a Funny or Die spoof.

[LowerManhattanite]

43. You NAILED it.

I’d add John Turturro to the mix. He’s played Billy Martin and Cosell too!

[Niagara]

46. Excellent call about John Turturro!

I had forgotten about this talented and underrated actor.

[Flaleftist]

40. Paul Giamatti

[LowerManhattanite]

41. John Malkovich...

...or Stanley Tucci.

[LowerManhattanite]

44. Also John Turturro!

He can do teh crazy!
