Casting Kevin Von Erich

Over at my favorite wrestling blog Ringside At Skull Island is a post on 1980s beefcake Al Perez called Latin Hearthrob. Skull Island blogger Joe writes that Perez often wrestled the Von Erichs during their heyday and that if a movie about Perez were to be made, Tyler Black should portray him because of his close resemblance to the long-haired hunk. "But who would play Kevin Von Erich?" asks Joe. Well, I have a suggestion, although unlike Tyler Black, my candidate is not a professional wrestler. He's 23 year old British actor Jamie Bell (yes, "Billy Elliott" himself). It was the close-up of Kevin you see below that made me think of Jamie. Yes, Jamie doesn't have the incredible physique Kevin had, but he's already bulked up for his role in a period action drama that's going to be released next year (see the accompanying still after Jamie's close up). Hey, if Mickey Rourke could do it, so could Jamie. Plus, he's a dancer; he already has the footwork down. Anyway, it's just an idea. I couldn't think of any pro wrestler who looks like Kevin Von Erich...can you? Leave a comment if there's someone you think could play him.
