    He wasn't a good actor. Midnight Cowboy? That would have ruined the film.

    He would be ok I guess in small supporting roles, like one of the gang members in a film.

    Actually
    , I think the “secret” life of Tom Parker would make a great film. However, the film would have to take focus off Elvis and focus on his immigrant status and dealings before Elvis.

    Andy Smith .....Like a good pinch of snuff......

    Had he lived, he would have been perfect for a part in Clooney's 'Ocean's' films.

    Elvis did play a Eastwood type character in one of his last acting roles, ‘Charro’.

    I think Elvis is perfect for "Elvis movies." But he was capable of good acting, Just hampered by "Icon"

  20. There's absolutely no way this would have happened, for a million different reasons, but picture Elvis as Alex in A Clockwork Orange.

    Members of the Memphis Mafia could have played the Droogs. ;)

    Actually, Sheriff Brody in JAWS would be a good match.
