The British Bulldog is without question one of the toughest roles to cast, because in addition to having an absolutely mind-boggling physique, he sported an extremely unique accent shaped by both his youth spent in Manchester and his adult life in the U.S.

We're going with a bold one here: Irish comedian, actor and presenter Paddy McGuinness. The guy has a knack for a wide range of accents as proven in his TV work, yet the fact he's also a bit daft and rough around the edges could actually help him convincingly portray Davey Boy's penchant for stiff, incoherent promos.

His body is an undeniable sticking point, sure, but in recent times McGuinness has aptly demonstrated that he can get into fighting shape, so with one of those famed Hollywood training regimes he could probably achieve some surprisingly convincing results.
