    Their voices are similar, but you'd have to get an unknown to play Serling. Everyone would just see Tom Cruise, not Rod Serling. He should just direct it.

        A Unknown would be best. Anyone famous would ruin the movie for me, and many others.
        Cruise shouldn't direct it either, it should be someone like George Clooney who can captivate that old fashion Twilight Zone opening feel.

          It's time he did a deep, depressing, biopic film.

            Clooney directs
            and possibly Christian Bale as Serling or an unknown.
            wouldnt object to Cruise, but him givings Serlings dead pan
            delivery would be too funny.

                  Matt Dillon would make a great Rod Serling if you ask me.

                      Tom Cruise would not be a good choice for Serling. He looks and sounds nothing like him. I hope they do make a biopic though.

                        I believe that we should band together and start "the citizens against Tom Cruise as Rod Serling" movement.Lol!I just would'nt want to see this idea come to fruition.Just my opinion,but I view Cruise as somewhat of a freak.I agree with earlier posts that getting an unknown would probably be the best bet!If the material was treated properly(and hopefully with the input of Serling's widow)it could be a very interesting and entertaining biopic.Being a child of the early 70s and growing up on "Twilight Zone" and "Night Gallery",I would look forward to a respectful and intelligent take on 1354this idea.Rod Serling was a true visionary,and his story should be told!

                          I guess I'm in the minority; I think Tom Cruise could do a fairly decent job at it. They're about the same height, Cruise has done military films before (Serling served in WWII), and Cruise seems pretty athletic (Serling was an amateur boxer). What's the worse that could happen: a bad movie. There are already plenty of those, one more won't mean the end of civilization.

                            I wouldn't be adverse to Cruise playing Serling. In fact, I think they could do worse than him.
