James Marsden, known for his diverse roles in films and television, expressed a desire to portray Frank Sinatra in a biopic during an interview about his Hulu series "Paradise." He admires the narratives of Sinatra's life, both light and dark, and believes his own singing talents, showcased in movies like "Hairspray" and "Enchanted," make him a fitting choice for the role. Marsden reminisced fondly about his experiences in musicals, emphasizing his passion for storytelling through music.
"I've always loved emulating some of the old crooners, like Bobby Darin and Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. I always thought there were so many interesting stories about Frank Sinatra's life that could be played..."
"To do a biopic like what Jamie Foxx did with Ray Charles would be a lot of fun. I would love to, and you're actually using your singing voice, as well."
"I just think there's so many stories that could be told about that man - some of the really tortured and darker stories, and some uplifting ones as well."
"I had the most amazing experience on that movie, and it was just a party. It was like we were doing a Broadway show on stage for a couple of months."
