James Marsden is open to enjoying Frank Sinatra in a biopic, like Timothée Chalamet’s portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Full Unknown or Jamie Foxx’s portrayal of Ray Charles in 2004’s Ray.
In a brand new interview, the Paradise actor expressed his curiosity in enjoying the singer often called “The Voice” and “The Chairman of the Board.”
“I’ve at all times liked emulating a number of the previous crooners, like Bobby Darin and Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin,” the actor stated in an interview with The Submit. “I at all times thought there have been so many fascinating tales of Frank Sinatra’s life that may very well be performed. And for no matter cause, you’ve by no means actually seen a film about him.”
He continued, “I simply suppose there’s so many tales that may very well be advised about that man — a number of the actually tortured and darker tales, and a few uplifting ones as effectively. What he did, what he completed. I’ve by no means actually completed a biopic about anyone.”
Sinatra has impressed quite a few works just like the 1992 CBS miniseries Sinatra, during which Philip Casnoff portrayed the “My Approach” singer. Ray Liotta performed Sinatra in 1998’s The Rat Pack, James Russo performed the singer in 2003’s Stealing Sinatra, Dennis Hopper performed him in 2003’s The Evening We Name It a Day and Robert Knepper performed Sinatra in 2012’s My Approach.
“To do a biopic like what Jamie Foxx did with Ray Charles could be numerous enjoyable,” Marsden stated. “I’d like to. And also you’re really utilizing your singing voice, as effectively.”
Foxx went on to win an Oscar for his portrayal of Ray Charles within the 2004 movie directed by Taylor Hackford.
