Born to play Morrissey

[Trouble loves me]

When the threads were up aeons ago about who should play Moz in a biopic, I immediately thought of an actor called Matthew Horne, who i'd seen in The Catherine Tate Show. However, there were no pics of him on the net back then. However, in the last few weeks he's been in two new sitcoms, and every time i see him i think the resemblance to a young Morrissey is uncanny. So here are the long overdue links to the pictures ... don't think it'll take you long to work out which guy i mean.

Hey, I was just watching an episode of Scrubs with
Brendan Fraser in it, and he briefly put on an English
accent.
I think maybe he could play Morrissey.
And of course, he is very handsome.....

That's not entirely inconceivable, i can see a resemblance. Yet, i've never forgiven Brendan Fraser for the remake of Bedazzled; poor Peter Cook was fairly spinning in his grave.

Or for him playing a prehistoric goon in Encino Man.

Danny Boyle resembles him, although he is a director, not an actor. Plus he's got the Irish Blood thing going on as well.

i don't want there to be a morrissey movie, i can't imagine anyone doing anything besides an imitation and even if it was a good actor and a good imitation, it would be weird... maybe if they did it with a bunch of actors like they are for that bob dylan movie, to capture different aspects and moments
