Will Ferrell Wants to Do More Dramas and Has Found His "Dream Role" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hollywood actor WILL FERRELL has found his "dream role" - he wants to play SIMON COWELL in a biopic of the music mogul's life.
Ferrell admits he's become transfixed with the American Idol judge, and he's hoping to find a script that will allow him to bring his 'Mr Nasty' impersonation to the big screen.
He says, "I would love to play Simon Cowell in a movie - heck, I would love it. It would be my dream role. He's become a legend in five years, nobody knew who he was five years ago and now he's one of the most famous people on TV."
Ferrell is convinced he would be the perfect choice to play Cowell in a film, because he can see similarities between the TV star and his character from 2004 comedy Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.
He adds, "It wouldn't be that hard for me to play him because I see a lot of Ron Burgundy in Simon Cowell. Like Simon, Ron was the biggest thing on TV, loved himself - they are like long-lost twin brothers separated at birth. It would be fun getting into character as well. I would walk along the street and say, 'Hey, you're too fat to be a star,' or go to a concert and shout out to the artist, 'Never gonna happen.'"
The comedian has even issued an appeal to the talent show judge to consider him if there is ever a Simon Cowell film in the works: "Come on, Simon. You know it would be fun. I could spend some time shadowing you. We could spend time in your mansion in high trousers and black, round-neck tees just being rude to people, it would be great."

Wow if playing Simon Cowell is Will Ferrell's "dream role" then he must have pretty low self-esteem. Simon is a jackass! I don't really like Will either, but this is a new low, even for him. I'd hardly call Simon Cowell's life 'dramatic'.
