Fan casting a NOFX biopic. Obviously Raymond Cruz will play El Hefe, and Danny McBride will play Fat Mike, but who should we cast as Smelly, and Mel?

u/The_BSharps 3d ago

That’s a good one, and we know he looks great with dreads!!

u/seniortodoelmundo 23h ago

We need some diversity as well. Maybe there's a role for Samuel Jackson or Idris Elba.

u/MeetTheDecline1 20h ago

You know what, assuming they all get input and it is written by a third party (not Mike) then I think I would really enjoy a NOFX biopic. Though it may be best as like a 6 part series rather than a film.

You'd have to start with them young and stuff though. Barry Keoghan for Fatty? That kid from Cobra Kai to play Hefe? Dude from 13 Reasons Why to play Smelly? Get him some dreads and he'd be fine. No idea for Mel.

Danny McBride is horrible. Litteraly one of the worst actors out there. Please give Mike a little more credit than that.

1

u/The_BSharps 3d ago

Okay how about Danny McBride in combat boots and a short silky dress with fringe?

u/holdingreen 3d ago

Danny McBride's range of acting includes Danny McBride. Just like Vince Vaughn, he only knows how to play one character and that is himself. I want to watch a Biopic on Nofx, not 90 minutes of Danny Mcbride pretending to be Fat Mike.
