10 Actors Who Could Play David Bowie In A Biopic Movie

If you're looking for a non-conventional red-haired actor, then you'd definitely want to add Domhnall Gleeson to your list. This Irish born performer has slowly but surely established himself as a leading figure in the movie industry thanks to his thoughtful parts in indie movies like Frank or Brooklyn and roles in blockbuster projects like Star Wars. So, he's certainly got the right appeal and star power to pull this role off.

More than that, however, Gleeson has proven time and time again that he can switch it up. He's gone from playing quirky romantic interests to maniacal villains to traumatised historical figures. This proves that he's got the right amount of versatility to bring to Bowie, and can capture all of the different facets that made him such a star.

Additionally, he does bear a great resemblance to Bowie, as his skinny frame and unique face easily reflect that of the figure. Thanks to this, he would be able to transition into the part perfectly and could even get some buzz going, similar to the early press shots of Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury.
