Who should star as Morphy in the Movie?

if the movie is about morphy faking his death & living his life incognito, then definitely kevin spacey

agree. g_o_p, our own chess commie, should star in this flick rather than getting some clueless actor who has no idea about chess.

I am shocked to the point of outrage by the pretty boy images here! Sylvester Stallone is the obvious choice
Since Pawn Sacrifice was such a big hit among a select group of individuals, and comic book movies are over the top popular. I have been tasked to do field research casting for the upcoming movie, "Morphy: The Pride and Sorrow of Chess". I have seen pictures of Paul Morphy, but for some reason the photos are not of the highest quality. Any suggestions on casting the main character for this feature film? Also, if there are any obscure stories our research team may not have uncovered? - Thanks for the help!
