So if there was going to be a biographical movie made about Jaco, and you got to choose the cast, who would be your picks?

First of all it's a great idea...It's gonna' be a very dramatic story with a tragic end.
Somebody should do it but not hollywood, we don't want jaco to become just another a sticky hollywood story.

| | | | Brendan Fraser looks quite a bit like Jaco, whether or not he could accurately portray everyone's favorite manic maniac musician...well who knows.
Though ultimately, I feel that if such a movie were made, it would be like a VH1 type for-TV production and would use a cast of nonames for the most part, and chances are whoever they'd get to play jaco would be a dead ringer for him.

| | | | Heck, Jaco's own son felix looks quite a bit like him, and he can play the bass pretty well too.

He realises that life as a bass player isint all its cracked up to be.
Or
Adam sandeler

+1 Outstanding player. He was going to be my choice, although I bet Depp would take bass lessons/learn all (or most) of Jaco's tunes. He's a dedicated actor, and willing to research his character until he gets it as accurate as possible.
