Lest his recent turn in World's Greatest Dad make us forget that Robin Williams is the actor that gave us Jack, Bicentennial Man, and RV, he is now considering playing Britain's Got Talent contestant Susan Boyle. It might be easy to dismiss this rumor as idle chatter in a celebrity obsessed culture, but Williams confirmed that he "has been asked to play Susan in the movie" and that he thinks she's "incredible". There's still hope that this project will die on the vine and spare Boyle the indignity, but Williams should really be concerned about the karmic debt for taking the role. The universe still hasn't paid him back adequately for License to Wed. Could a Robin Williams biopic by Uwe Boll be in the offing? [The Daily Swarm]
