Crossface: 13 Actors Who Must Be Cast In Chris Benoit's Biopic
9. Channing Tatum As Johnny Nitro
Alongside Ben Foster's CM Punk, someone has to step into the ring at Vengeance at the climax of the film, and given his previous playing a ridiculously sculpted preening sex-bomb character, Tatum is more than qualified to play stand-in ECW champ Johnny Nitro.
Both have underwear model abs and Hollywood faces, and Tatum would be entirely believable as the conceited, self-aggrandising rookie.
Before he was victim to one of the most unfortunate "image changes" in Hollywood history, a younger Val Kilmer could well have played Nitro, since both used Jim Morrison as an impressive reference point. But that ship has long sailed, and Kilmer now looks like the deeply tragic After photo Bruce Wayne carries around reminding him never, ever to retire.
