I was just watching Hairspray, and it made me start thinking because the guy in it who plays Ricki Lake's boyfriend...well, don't you think that he could play Morrissey in the movie version of The Severed Alliance? His name is Michael St. Gerard, I think. He's played Elvis in Great Balls Of Fire and in a couple of TV movies. But really, if they worked on the quiff, and gave him blue contact lenses, it could work. Of course, they'd have to coach him to get the right accent, and to know when and how to do that eye-brow raising stuff Morrissey does when he talks. Also, he'd have to start using wide, dramatic sweeping gestures with his hands as he acted, and place his tongue firmly (and literallly) in his cheek. I mean, if VH-1 is going to show the Sonny and Cher story and do an original TV movie about *Sweetwater* who no one has ever heard of in the whole history of music, then surely someone could accost a V.I.P. in the corridor of VH-1's decision-making offices and beat him soundly over the head until he agrees that making the movie version of the story of The Smiths and Morrissey is the best thing he could possibly do-- or else...
