Now that his life rights have officially been sold, I'm sure everyone is doing this.
My vote: David Strathairn. Although he may now be too old.

I thought of Jon Hamm as well because he could do the voice but in reality if it is an issue to some he is much taller

I can see James Franco playing him in a biopic. There is a certain physical resemblance

I've been saying for years that Joaquin Phoenix should play Serling before he gets too old to do it. I hope somebody does a worthy bio-pic about Serling.

Yeah, I agree on James Franco.
Just look at all these various inages of Serling

The guy who delivers tires to the dealership where I work; I swear, he's Serling's illegitimate son! I've always wanted to snap a pic of him, but can't without being obvious.

I think you'd have to get a shorter guy simply because Rod's height had such an effect on him-so I guess it's either Elijah Wood or Tobey Maguire (though Maguire would have to get a voice coach).

Tough to find someone to play Serling.
Strathairn is too old, Hamm is too tall.
James Franco?
