I think Hollywood should make a movie based on Morphy's life considering Morphy's level of legendary. Hmm,.. which actor do you guys think is suitable enough to play as Morphy?? Tongue Out

Johnny Depp FOR SURE!!

From what understand, Morphy was a bit of a freak. And nobody does freak better than Johnny.

I remember a movie once about Morphy. i think he was played by Farley Granger but it was so long ago I could be wrong. Does anybody remember it?

I think Cage should stick to action movies. I think Matt Damon could play it he appears to be intelligent.

Wow! Ryan Gosling!

We established in another thread that Morphy was part black, so I think it's offensive to cast a white actor to play him.

Maybe Robert Downey Jr. can do it:

Morphy retired at the age of 21...so it'd have to be a young actor...if it's a film concentrating on the years when he played...

That's totally baseless.
