In an interview a while back, Bruce was asked who he would want to see play him in a movie version of his life. Bruce suggested that X-Files star David Duchovny would be a good candidate. This got me thinking about who would be a good actor to portray Bruce in a movie of his life. Frequently it is pointed out that Rick Moranis bears an uncanny resemblance to Bruce.
