10 Actors Who Could Play David Bowie In A Biopic Movie

8. Cameron Monaghan

This list will discuss plenty of up and coming stars who could benefit from a big break to launch them into the stratosphere, and Cameron Monaghan is the first of them. His rise to popularity thanks to his stunning performance as Jerome in Gotham has been fantastic, and he's got plenty of potential to ride that acclaim to the land of Hollywood.

One of the first things you notice about Monaghan is that his look is so unique. Besides the notable red hair, he has a face that doesn't quite fit into any specific descriptions. Like Bowie himself, he's the definition of unconventional, as he's clearly got a welcoming look but has an edge to him that's somewhat unsettling.

He's proven himself to be a fantastic character actor, as his work from Gotham has shown his depth and his realistic performance as Ian Gallagher from Shameless displays the levels of emotional complexity that he can bring to a role.

While it would take a fair bit of work to make him look and feel like the legendary musician, it would be worth the effort.
