Casting Charles Manson

It appears execs are having difficulty casting Charles Manson in an upcoming movie.
I think Billy Bob Thornton would be a good choice and has the type of career that could withstand any negative typecasting. I also think Thornton has the guts to take on the role of the monster. I'm not sure if he would be interested in a TV role though.

Stars Say No to Manson Role

TV executives are struggling to find a big name to play jailed serial killer Charles Manson after Robert Downey, Jr. and Eric McCormack proved unavailable. The two stars were producer Mark Wolper's first choices to play Manson in a new adaptation on Vincent Bugliosi book Helter Skelter. Wolper says, "My first choice was Robert Downey, Jr. Unfortunately, he's not available, he's doing a Woody Allen film. Eric, I think, would be an interesting choice, but unfortunately he's on a series and not available to us." Manson is serving life imprisonment in California State Prison at Corcoran.
