Ben Stiller lands Bob Weir role in GD biopic

just kidding

John Mayer beat him to it.

LOL. Idea got me thinking which actors would be good for playing various musicians. Seemed like the William Hurt as Gregg Allman was a strange choice.
So casting the Dead I figured : Ben Stiller as Bobby, Oprah Winfrey as Jerry, Omar Sharif as Mickey Hart, Capn Kangaroo as Kreutzman, Jerry Springer for Lesh, Danny Trejo as Pigpen, Susan Dey as Donna, and William Macy as Brent.

A movie about the GD would be the last thing I would ever want to see.

What bands would you enjoy a film about? Any ideas on good actors? Or should we just chuck this idea and enjoy us a good ol fashioned Deadbashing ?
Cate Blanchett did an eerily great job as Bob Dylan in "I'm Not There".
Carrie Fisher would make a fantastic Grace Slick.

For ABB biopic, John Voigt & Josh Brolin for later era Gregg & Dickey respectively.
