TMZ reports that in a Tuesday appearance on the Rich Stevens Radio show, Gingrich was asked who he would like to see play the lead role in such a film. Newt went straight to the top, picking a Hollywood icon.
"Oh, in my fantasy life?," he asked Stevens. "Brad Pitt ... why not?"
Stevens advanced the thought: "Is it because you both look so much alike?"
Newt replied: "No, I don't look like him at all. He's thinner, he's better looking, he's younger. But you asked me if I had anybody who could play me in a movie. Why not go for Brad Pitt?"

Only if it is a parody film about a has-been doofus politician running for president.

Johnny Depp would be an even better choice, since Rudolph Valentino isn't around any more

him into Newt. Could Brad though play him without breaking down in hysterical laughter every five minutes especially having to imitate that voice?

"No, I don't look like him at all. He's thinner, he's better looking, he's younger. But you asked me if I had anybody who could play me in a movie. Why not go for Brad Pitt?"
This needs to be marked down in the halls of time ...

Remember? The used car dealer who had a seizure when his son told him he'd given a "REFUND? REFUND? REFUND?" in the 1979 film "Breaking Away"?
See Dooley's picture and filmography at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0233209/.

DU software could not process the double "AT" signs in the middle of it. Click on the other link to see the picture--you'll love it!
