So...Jack Layton: The Movie?

Apparently, it's in the works.

I can't see any of the candidates in the poll as suited to play Layton. We're going to need someone else. Possibly Don Ferguson from Air Farce. He played Layton in comedic sketches on that show, but this would involve a major stretch for his acting skills.

As well as he played Layton on RCAF, I cannot picture Don Ferguson doing the same thing in a dramatic role. This is a difficult one.

True enough. We're gonna have to do some digging. If they're lucky enough in the same way as Prairie Giant was with their choice for Tommy Douglas, it'll be a minor miracle.
