Who Should Play Kevin Trudeau In The Inevitable TV Movie?

1952 views

More than one reader noticed a remarkable similarity between FTC repeat offender and infomercial king Kevin Trudeau and Dallas do-gooder Bobby Ewing—er, Patrick Duffy. Which makes us wonder: if there's a TV movie in the works about Trudeau, and there certainly should be, who should play him? Share the wisdom of a crowd and cast your vote.

I feel this poll is remiss in not including Chris Parnell (SNL, 30 Rock-Dr. Spaceman) and will file a complaint with the FCC to that effect. Thank you for your time.

Since when did this blog turn into TMZ?

I vote for OJ simpson.

It takes a BS artist to play one.

John Slattery, currently playing Longoria's husband on "Desperate Housewives" would be good, especially if he dyed his hair dark for the part.
He's incredibly slimy.

@Greasy Thumb Guzik:

damn...that's a better match than Patrick Duffy.

He has such a big ego, he would probably play himself, then he could also collect more money.

I agree he should play himself. Then he could write a book about how the feds tried to shut down production of his movie.

I say Kevin Spacey. Hey may not look 100% like him (maybe a hairpiece?) but boy can hey act like a creepy conman sleazebag if he needs to. I doubt he does TV movies though.

I'm doing a write-in: Minnesota Governer, Tim Pawlenty.

@Greasy Thumb Guzik: I came in her to say EXACTLY this! Sure, John Slattery doesn't look as much as Trudeau as some others, but his acting will more than convey what a d-bag Trudeau is! Well done.

I've got a friend who is a professor of drama in the Chicago area who would be perfect for the role. Especially since his name is also Kevin Trudeau (no relation.)

For some reason, I want to say Richard Gere.

Vince Gill, or barring that, Charles Barkley.

See, now I always thought he looked like Ryan Stiles for some reason.

Oh man the guy from super troopers looks exactly like him...

How about no one so this asshat doesn't get anymore money from his wanton ways, cause I'm thinking someone would have to buy the rights to his story, right?

Both he and Michael Pinkus are both quacks who shouldnt be allowed to broadcast, screw the 1st amendment rights, by the way michael pinkus is a scientologist also.

I forgot to add about the google search of michael pinkus and if you scroll down youll see a thing on scientology and his name listed, unless by some bizzaro universe that he isnt the same pinkus.

Andy Milder. The guy on Weeds who got in the motorcycle accident. Spitting image.
