(I realize I just said that as if 'it's me' ... and maybe it is! except it definitely isn't ) Before you go to the link https://a.msn.com/12/en-us/AASUzdL?ocid=winp-se to confirm who you think 'the imitator' in the picture is, tell me who you think should portray Weird Al. (And if you find out who it is, please don't mention the name below unless you do it as a guess as to who it ought to be.) I agree with the casting choice to portray Weird Al 'in his younger years,' but I think that the older Weird Al should be played by ... the first name I thought of was Tom Hanks, and then Stephen Colbert ... maybe Rick Moranis? Any other good possibilities.

Sacha Baron Cohen or Taika Waititi

Taika Waititi ... also a good guess
Good Guess, and ... I don't know if I've ever seen Taika Waititi (isn't he a producer?)

@stewartclint I can't say (if the link https://a.msn.com/12/en-us/AASUzdL?ocid=winp-se doesn't work for you, try your favorite search-engine). But Radcliffe (Daniel, right?) ... I especially liked his Igor in a version of Frankenstein I saw him in.

@mythociate Did I guess correctly? Wow. Taika is a writer, director, actor in "jojo rabbit", among others. His latest that I saw was a villain in "Free Guy". Liked his "What we do in the shadows". I honestly don't think Radcliffe is a good choice though. That's him in the photo above, right?

I know the answer to this so I won't say who it is. Strange casting. He doesn't even look like him.

Maybe a younger Weird Al, back when he was getting started at his college radio job.
