Fantasy Cast… Who should play Ozzy Osbourne in a biopic?
There was news about two and a half years ago that Christopher Walken would be playing the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne, in a biopic on the rocker’s life. That news came and went about as quick as a bat’s head on Ozzy’s dinner plate, but you know it got the brainiacs in Hollywood thinking up ideas.
Today, we leave the casting choices to you. If there were to be a biopic on Ozzy Osbourne’s life, who would play the Black Sabbath frontman?
If an Ozzy biopic were to get off the ground, there’s no telling what stage of the musician’s career the film would focus on. If it’s anything like ‘Ray,’ ‘Walk the Line,’ or any number of countless musician biopics, it will be about the singer breaking in and the hardships with drugs and women he ran into while on the road.
There is really only one actor that I can think of who would fit the Ozzy Osbourne bill perfectly, and that man is Liev Schreiber.
He can play creepy just as well as he can play cool, and that type of acting is needed for someone to pull off Ozzy well. There’s no telling if Schreiber can sing or even emulate the Ozzman’s voice in anyway, but, just strictly going on looks and acting ability alone, I’m sticking with him. And, no, this has nothing to do with my fascination to see Liev Schreiber in black eyeliner, so you can cease those rumors right friggin’ now!
What do you think? Who should play Ozzy Osbourne if and when a biopic on his life ever comes to fruition? What stages of Ozzy’s life and career should the film focus on? If you get any ideas for the rest of the Osbourne clan and who should play them, let us know that as well.
