Back in January 2009, just weeks after the Bernie Madoff fraud unraveled, John Friedman of the WSJ asked an interesting question: Who will play Bernie Madoff in the inevitable movie?
Friedman suggested several logical actors for the role, including Dustin Hoffman (who I think bears a pretty strong resemblance to Madoff). Others on Friedman’s list included Albert Finney, Al Pacino, Anthony Hopkins, Jack Nicholson and Michael Douglas.
