Crossface: 13 Actors Who Must Be Cast In Chris Benoit's Biopic

10. Michael Chiklis As Kevin Sullivan

With Benoit's relationship with his wife likely to play as big a role in the film as his wrestling career - before the two smash together catastrophically - Nancy's ex Kevin Sullivan surely has to appear. He, after all, was the third wheel of an intriguing romantic entanglement that mirrored the creative direction of the trio's storyline and a necessary component in selling one explosive bookend of the relationship.

It's inevitable that Sullivan will be sold as collateral damage, not only in terms of Benoit stealing his wife, but also in his defection to WWE when Sullivan was promoted controversially to head booker for WCW. With that in mind, the role will require someone who is likeable but gruff and physically imposing, who can play the pantomime villain when Benoit is in hero mode.

That man is former Thing Michael Chiklis, who is due another shot after the first Fantastic Four atrocities ruined his career.
