Who would you cast as Harvey in a biopic?

I know H'wood is reluctant to even touch the subject, but he and his brother's rise from small town venue operators and promoters to global movie moguls is the stuff made for Fall from Grace story-lines, including the rape and sexual harassment era of his career.

I'm thinking the Dad from "The Goldbergs" or Steve Scharripa (Bobby Bacala), or maybe even Gary Oldman.

This is my answer.

Yeah, DeVito is always great playing sleazy, executive-type characters. Usually more of a comedic slant to his roles, though. Not sure that would work for a Weinstein biopic. Plus his height would be an obvious issue. Still, I like the idea.

Ron Jeremy. You'd save on body padding for a start.
