Apologies if this has been posted before… Mike O’Hearn!
/Film reader Tony P sends along word that Mike O�??Hearn, otherwise known as �??Titan�?? on NBC�??s American Gladiators, was on the Todd n�?? Tyler radio show (in Omaha) this morning making some pretty big claims about his upcoming Hollywood plans. He claims that he has a meeting at 11:00am this morning to be the lead in Lionsgate�??s upcoming reboot of Conan. Not only that, I heard the audio from the program and �??Titan�?? insists that he has already passed the audition stage.
�??Today�??s not even an audition. They�??re bringing me in today just to sit me down and talk. How about that? It�??s even better than an audition!
And if he doesn�??t take that deal, O�??Hearn has a casting session scheduled for Marvel Studios�?? big screen adaptation of Captain America.
Update: Stephanie from IESB reminds me that Mike appeared on Dr. Drew in May and gave the same exact story, that he would be reading for the part of Captain America �??next week.�?? So either O�??Hearn�??s audition was delayed two months, he is being brought back in again, or it�??s just a story he�??s making up to get his name on the blog sites. You decide.
O�??Hearn played Kane the Barbarian in the 2003 direct to dvd movie Barbarian. He also has acting experience on Days of Our Lives, TV: The Movie, and fanboys might remember Mike as Superman/Clark Kent in Sandy Collera�??s 2004 fan film World�??s Finest.
Discuss: What do you think? Would you rather see O�??Hearn as Conan or Captain America? Or would you rather see him stick to American Gladiators?
