Martin Scorsese has talked about doing a Frank Sinatra biopic for a long time now. If it ever gets off the ground, who would you choose to play Sinatra as well as the other members of the Rat Pack?

Scorsese Wants Pacino & De Niro For Sinatra Biopic

I'd like to see actors I've never heard of. Pacino and DeNiro are too iconic in themselves to play other icons.

I also think they're too old.

Johnny Depp has been one of the names floating around. I could possibly see that. DiCaprio is strong though he bears absolutely no resemblance to Ol' Blue Eyes. George Clooney is allegedly vying for the role too. I just can't picture him playing Sinatra. He's smooth but not that smooth.

Although Joaquin Phoenix doesn't really have the look, he definitely has the talent. He was awesome in Walk the Line where he played Johnny Cash.

Robert DeNiro as Dean Martin??? That's whack! Dean has such as smooth, loose way of talking, I'm thinking Johnny Depp for that role. Kind of like Captain Jack Sparrow meets the Rat Pack.

If we could go back to 1997: Toby Huss - played the Las Vegas street Sinatra impersonator selling fake i.d.'s in National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation.

Being Sinatra doesn't really require a lot of talent, other than singing. And being natural. Sinatra was a natural, nothing fake.

Agreed here. I had already decided on Harry Connick Jr while reading the OP.

Great minds..., etc
