Just talked to an old friend in LA who says, he's got some people interested in doing a docudrama of my life from childhood to now, based on my autobiography..Umm, I wonder who'd play me. Of course it would probably end with me next year winning a Grammy for new artist of the year or something. Now wouldn't that be a cool ending.

I'd guess that way less than 10% of TV / film projects actually reach fruition, but this could be really good if it makes it to the 'shooting stage'.

MIND YOU ........... there must have been about a dozen projects to make a film of Otis Reddings life floated down the years (Billy Ocean was talked of as the guy to play Otis when his records were big US hits) and none ever progressed very far. Guess the investors much prefer projects about Karen Carpenter than ones about old black singers.
