TMZ reports that Justin Berfield (Malcolm In The Middle‘s bullying brother Reese) is positioning himself to be a movie mogul at the tender age of 21, with his production company J2TV/J2 Pictures. He’s got two projects slated: a Jessica Simpson vehicle (we’ll pass, thanks) and a film based on the Jerry Garcia tome Captain Trips.
Let’s assume it’s not a documentary. Which actor should play the legendary axeman? Should he be missing part of his middle finger … and his toilet?

Benicio Del Toro would be good although a little old.
I think Richard Dreyfuss circa Jaws would have been PERFECT.
But now, I’m thinking Paul Giamatti. Yeah, pick on the dumpy guy, I know, sorry. I think he’d do a good job, though.
Cheech Marin… his name’s Raaaalph man!
Actually Ryan Adams a year or two ago when he got all wooly would have been a good choice.
James Caviezel is the obvious choice.
what about shawn koonin?
I think that Daniel Arnold should play him
The only man for the job is the hilarious Tom Wilson.
Jerry’s not dead! But if he was, I think that Bart the Bear should play him on the big screen.
i just love the grateful dead. i think they’re just a fantastic band.
I know: John Cusack!
Dom Deluise all the way.
No, seriously. Look at him close. Right around the eyes… Who do you see? Closer… Righhht? Tell me that’s not Cusack.
I see that someone mentioned me as a possibility to play Jerry Garcia. I don’t think this is a good idea because the only song I know by them is Casey Jones. I hate the band so much that I will protest this movie being made. Now, if there was a movie about New Found Glory being made, I would love to play the lead singer. They are really really good.
i second the wooly ryan adams.
jared leto
Gabe Kaplan
JOEY Cusack
Kyp Malone?
Robbie Coltrane.

Carlos Mencia. AHHAHAHA….no.
if jerry does any kissing in the movie, i also recommend daniel arnold because he’s very good at kissing. particularly soul-kissing.
Actually, this kissing rumor is just that. A rumor. I sware I have never kissed a girl before, and if I had, it would surely have been the lead singer of Evanescence. She is so beautiful in the heart, mind, body, and soul. She is the real deal. I love her lyrics.
jerry’s dead
phish sucks
get a job you hippie freaks
oh, oh, what i want to know-oh, is are you kind?
jerry’s dead
phish sucks
get a job you hippie freaks
actually, heidi vogel/phil lesh, jerry is not dead, the four winds just blew him safely home. safely home to heaven where he is playing music with the likes of elvis presley and james blunt.
i hope they have a spot at that drum circle for me when i arrive, because man the sugaree is sweeter on the other side.
Craig Finn.
Rory Cochrane … “aka. Slater”

How bout Harry Acidhead?
no one likes phil lesh anyway
i love the dead & even tv on the radio
scott stapp.
Oliver Platt – nuff said.

that Entourage guy would do it for me, adrian grenier. he’s got the trippy eyes,and i believe he even has his own rock band. don’t know about the missing finger though.
pickles is geigh
Keith Hernandez
Lindsay Lohan is the obvious choice. She is sooo hot right not.
On looks alone, I’ll vote for Eugene Levy.
Philip Seymour Hoffman. They have the same eyes, and if he can play Capote he can play Jerry.

Jason Lee would be a good one!
fools JACK BLACK
jared leto???!!! jack black???!!!! are you guys insane???????
the idea of a jerry garcia “biopic” is stupid and borderline offensive. it is wrong to try and condense his life and acheivments into 2 hours of commercial crap designed to make money for hollywood producers.
that dom deluise call is pretty funny though…
myself. WHERE DO I FIND THE CASTING CALL FOR THIS I WILL WORK FOR *HALF* OR LESS WHAT THE MALCOM AND THE MIDDLE STAR IS ASKING. ID DO IT FOR NEXT TO NOTHING HE IS MY IDOL AND I LOOK LIKE HI AT 21-30 WHEN SHAVED AND WITH MY FULL BEARD IM A SPITTING IMAGE. MY VOCALS MATCH AND I AM SDTEADY WITH THE ‘AXE’ AS YA CALLED IT TOO
TRIPLETS ARE EASY TO DO I WANT THE PART WHERE DO I SIGN UP? THANKS! (PS-EXCUSE THE CAPS!)
to even think that they are going to do this is so disturbing. its so stupid that they are commercializing these people and events(woodstock) to turn a buck. what a bunch of publicity bull. it is so wrong because its everything these people and events were against. it sounds to me like the regular recipe for these musician biopics. it will be a back a forth thing between jerry’s early life, and foreshadowing to the dark days of jerry. jerry is a book kind of guy anyway. having to read the info filters out so many idiots and haters from judging the true jerry. all in all it doesn’t matter who plays jerry, but they are huge shoes to fill. i hope i am wrong about this movie, but i’ve got a feeling.
