Michael Stipe should play Pantani in upcoming Armstrong film.

[Ronde Champ]

Hey,

I wonder if the Hollywood types even considered offering the role of
Marco Pantani in the upcoming Lance Armstrong comeback story movie to
Michael Stipe (lead vocal of the rock band REM).
Sporting a shaved head, frail looking face, and larger than life
ears, the quirky, reclusive, questionably sexually oriented rock star
would be perfect for the character of the depressed, psychotic,
troubled cyclist.

Thanks,

Can Stipe act? He certainly looks more like Pantani than Tom Sellek
looks like Eisenhower.

And Garzelli should be his stunt double...

Billy Corrigan from Smashing Pumpkins has a more bulbous head like
pantani. There's also that basist from some **** band (I want to say
3 doors down or something). Last I saw pics of him and Lance, he had
a shaved head and was a pretty little dude.

But Billy Corgan is 6'5", or something like that. I'm sure there are plenty
of actors who'd shave their heads and drop a lot of weigh for the role....
