Dream Casting Nic Cage's Tiger King Series

10. Allen Glover - Steve Austin

When looking for a scary bald guy who you could actually believe would take someone down for 5k, then is there a need to look any further than Steve 'Stone Cold' Austin? While he may not be the greatest actor around, there simply could be no better choice for role of Zoo handyman Allen Glover, a man with a chequered past not unlike Austin himself.

While Glover somehow avoided jail time despite being intricately connected to the murder plot of Carole Baskin, 'Stone Cold' Austin has faced numerous allegations of domestic violence. Austin has managed to pick up roles since the allegations and no charges were formally laid, it definitely left a stain on the former WWE star.

If our producers found the real life bad behaviour of Austin a little too controversial, then we would need to put up the cash for the services of the Sexy Beast himself, Ben Kingsley. Kingsley would simply need to replicate his role from Sexy Beast, the truly frightening Don Logan, with the addition an American accent of course. Kingsley is getting a bit old these days, but would be a great fit after a bit of digital de-ageing and a few of those withering gazes he is synonymous with.
