10 Actors Who Could Play David Bowie In A Biopic Movie

6. Noah Bean

This actor might not have a massive amount of star power, but he has proven himself to be a very talented performer. He's made a name for himself by appearing in shows like 12 Monkeys, Damages and Nikita. However, there is another role that helps to solidify his appropriateness for this part, and that's David Bowie himself.

That's right, Noah Bean has already dipped his toes into the wild and outlandish world of Ziggy Stardust as he portrayed the legendary figure in an episode of the HBO series Vinyl. This performance took full advantage of his uncanny resemblance to the star, and he did a great job of bringing the voice and mannerisms of Bowie to the forefront of his performance.

This part acts as both a blessing and a curse for his casting. His well-founded experience is a great jumping-off point, but going with him feels like re-treading. But, if something isn't broke, then why fix it? He would be a very safe bet, and it would undoubtedly shine a brighter spotlight on this less appreciated performer.
