I've got a couple of interns doing some research to see how he looked growing up, but if it turns out we have to stay with a chunky Buddha for the sake of authenticity, we're prepared to go with Alec Baldwin for the later years
That'll skew well with the male demographic and then we just have to introduce a young, hunky spiritual apprentice for the ladies. I'm thinking Johnny Depp, Tobey Maguire or possibly Frankie Muniz from Malcom in the Middle, although I heard a rumor he's actually 42 years old
The good news is you're going to love the story of Buddha -- think "Prince and the Pauper" meets "Lord of the Rings" minus the $150 million they had to spend creating hobbit feet
Buddha starts out as a prince named Siddartha around 500 BC. Young Sid is a bit of a dreamer and his father, the King - I'm seeing Sean Connery, maybe Ben Kingsley, although I heard he's become a handful to work with after being knighted- is worried that his son is going to abandon the good life and his royal status to focus on religion 24/7
Picture young Sid in a beautiful palace oblivious to the three dozen voluptuous beauties that pamper him and feed him dates like he's a sea lion at Marine World
