at first i thought the steve carell thing was totally off, for casting, because they dont look terribly similar. but then I remembered all the episodes of the Office id watched, and I think he’s the only man who can get the same LOUD spirit of billy! God, I hope this rumor is true.. lol

I would like to see a movie of Produce Pete Steve Carell.

Don’t know. Steve Carell isn’t an actor who can carry an entire movie but it may work.

Listen Billy Mays was special every 1000 years Chuck Norris grants a wish and poor sales man Robert Mays prayed before the Norris altar and asked to be the greatest pitch man ever and Norris gave him a lock of his beard and told him to go forth. The lock spread and Billy was reborn as the Prince of Pitch.

By John: “I swear that man could talk a republican into giving a blow job to a homeless guy for a sandwich… yes… he’s that persuasive…”
So did Billy Mays cause Ted Haggard to go and ….? Or what about the Republican from Florida with the pages? Damn salesmen always causing those Republicans to…well…
I enjoy(ed) Mays’s pitches, sure we’d have to turn down the volume, but something about him you just had to watch – and even when you’d already seen the commercial 3Bazillion times, you still had to watch it.
Making a biopic style movie based upon his life would be possible/plausible, but Steve Carell doesn’t even have the general build of Mays, so the movie would turn into a comic farce than something that would showcase Mays’s skills as a salesman.
Be Well. Be Well Sold.

Steve Carell would be a good choice but i personally see Bruce Campbell.i totally think he could pull it off.

I don’t see how you could make a full length Biopic about Mays. I mean he was totally cool and stuff but I don’t think he has a movie worthy life.
But if they did do it Steve Carell would be perfect.

If they do make a movie about Billy, I hope they show what a cheap S.O.B he was.

True Story: Working at a luxury hotel @ Clearwater Beach Florida, Billy was there and tipped the staff with free sample packets of Oxiclean

I doubt the biopic would be made. Still, I can see Carell playing Mays. He’d just have to gain some weight.

I find it strange that Billy died in the same week, and age as Micheal Jackson. And the fact it was only a few hours from here……

Anyway that’s kinda funny, Carell as Mays, NO way
