[PUNKPRINCESS]

Katharine Hepburn for Nancy Kerrigan.

Chick from The Fighter for Tonya Harding.

Katherine Heigl for Carolina Kostner.

Katharine Hepburn for Nancy Kerrigan.

Chick from The Fighter for Tonya Harding.

Katherine Heigl for Carolina Kostner.

Great picks (and pics)! It's almost scary how much Katherine Hepburn looks like Nancy in that picture.

Chick from The Fighter for Tonya Harding.

That's Amy Adams.

[ks777]

Kirsty Alley as Tonya Harding.

[Cheylana]

For Jeff Buttle, I'd nominate Derek Hough from Dancing with the Stars.
And I think Dmitry Chaplin from DWTS could do Evan Lysacek.

Chick from The Fighter[/URL] for Tonya Harding.

LOL, I was just watching The Fighter the other day and thinking, "My goodness, Amy Adams really resembles Tonya Harding here"

[pinky166]

Dan Radcliffe as Shawn Sawyer? He's the right size

Also what about Drew Barrymore for Rachael Flatt? http://ucesy-sk.happyhair.sk/celebri...ymore1d709.jpg

And Missy Peregrym really resembles Alissa. http://reaper.edogo.com/wp-content/u...grym6_big1.jpg

Noooooooooo Amy Adams is too beautiful to play Tonya. Even though Amy does have a more down home look then a lot of Hollywood actresses. Which is what i love about her. She seems more accessible and approachable then say someone like J-LO.

I agree with you. Randy Harrison from "Queer as Folk" would be a good choice for jeff Buttle.

What about Chord Overstreet as Jeff Buttle?

[SmallFairy]

love this thread, so many awsome suggestions!!

[Cheylana]

Noooooooooo Amy Adams is too beautiful to play Tonya.

On the contrary, it could be Adams' path to an Oscar (un-glamorizing oneself often leads to Academy Awards, e.g., Charlize Theron in "Monster")

[Ladida]

Wow so many sooo good suggestions!
Yesterday I saw a movie with Anthony Hopkins and I would love him as Alexei Mishin

[Robeye]

-Ellen Page (Inception) as Katia Gordeeva
-Hayden Christensen as Sergei Grinkov (the Star Wars dude's inability to speak English might actually be a bonus here )

-a young Amy Madigan (Gone Baby Gone) as Tonya Harding
-Hilary Swank as Nancy Kerrigan

-Liv Tyler or Anne Hathaway as Alissa Czisny

-a much younger Jet Li as Patrick Chan (and if they're using wires, a stunt double may not even be needed)

[Frau Muller]

More a lookalike than an actress...I nominate a dancer who can act to play Tonya Harding. American Ballet Theater principal ballerina Michele Wiles:

[AnnieBgood]

Joe Jonas as Stephane Lambiel
Nina Dobrev as Sasha Cohen
David Thewlis as future Evgeni Plushenko

Cat Cora
Not an actress, but she looks a lot like Katia Gordeeva.

[museksk8r]

Kayla Ewell as Carolina Kostner. They look like they could be identical twins.

[ks777]

Ellen as Jeff Buttle
