Ok, so you're directing a new film about Bobby Fischer.
*You have a large budget, meaning you can afford to hire just about any actor to play the lead role.
*You want to get someone who is at least relatively well-known.
*You are allowed to choose any actor, dead or alive, at any point in his life.
*The ability to play off chess genius/lunatic is ...[text shortened]... mportant, but it also has to be someone who looks believable.
Who would you choose, and why?

How much different would the real one be?
Originally posted by rbmorrisI know, it's a weird picture, but I have no doubt that he could pull it off. When you've played opposite an imaginary six foot bunny, and done it well, you can play any crazy role.
Somehow, I can't picture a bearded, disheveled Jimmy Stewart, shouting anti-semitic remarks at reporters.
Plus he's good at tirades (Mr. Smith Goes to Washington).
