Is there anything he can’t do ….

Elvis Presley’s influential manager, Colonel Tom Parker, will be played by, you guessed it, Tom Hanks!

The upcoming Baz Luhrmann-directed biopic is about the King of Rock and Roll .. obviously .. otherwise it would be weird for Tom Hanks to be playing the Kings’ manager.

Variety reports that Luhrmann, who will direct the film and wrote the script, is still searching for someone to play Presley and is hoping to find a newcomer for the role.

Makes sense, you want the character to be believable.

Parker discovered Presley back when he was an unknown artist and helped the fledgling musician achieve a number of career milestones, including a record deal with RCA and several acting roles.

I have one thing to say to Tom Hanks for his time in acting …

Thank you. Thank you very much (get it??)
