Casting the Hulk Hogan movie

11. Adam Sandler as Brutus The Barber Beefcake

Adam Sandler is known to be a fan of WWE. Could he play Brother Bruti?

One of the key roles to fill in a Hulk Hogan biopic has to be that of Brutus The Barber Beefcake, The Hulkster’s real-life close friend who he came up with, and who enjoyed so many opportunities in WWE and WCW based on his friendship with Hogan.

There’s a fair argument that the part should be played with a comedic bent given that many from inside the wrestling business tend to talk down about Beefcake as someone who wasn’t particularly talented and mooched off of his association with Hogan.

Adam Sandler could be an ideal fit for this role, given that he has proven his ideal to play physical roles, and that this is a case where fans could not take him entirely seriously in a dramatic role, and it would actually play to his (and the film’s) advantage.

On top of all of that, Sandler is an unabashed wrestling fan and already has a working relationship with Netflix, which could conceivably make this an easy deal to make.
