Fantastic news from that eerie dimension of sound and mind called Hollywood: a Rod Serling biopic is in the works! Andrew Meieran and his Bureau of Moving Pictures have acquired the life rights to the man who created The Twilight Zone and Night Gallery (as well as the staggering boxing 1962 film Requiem for a Heavyweight, which began as a Playhouse 90 live TV drama in the ’50s), and now we’ll get to see Rod’s haunting mug reinvented for the millennial crowd. But who should play the TV legend? Movieline offers five perfect choices ahead.
5. Game Show Network personality Dylan Lane
You all probably haven’t seen much of Game Show Network’s fine, canceled revamp of the ’80s game Chain Reaction. It ended in 2007, but host Dylan Lane’s chiseled, Serlingian visage has not faded a bit. If producers are casting Serling based on facial vertices, knowing smirks, and searing glances, they should look no further than Mr. Lane, who could tell you that “Rod” may also proceed “lightning,” “fishing,” or “shower.”
4. Johnny Galecki
I always root for CBS multicam actors to graduate to better, post-Chuck Lorre lives, even if they’re paid barrels of cash to utter snark between gales of audience laughter. Galecki, who’s watched Jim Parsons become the Emmy-decorated hero of the series, needs a surprising career turn. A crack at Rod Serling with those squinty eyes and rigid mandible may just do the trick.
3. James Franco
