JetBlue's folk-hero flight attendant Steven Slater is only at the beginning of what is sure to be a jam-packed 15 minutes of fame. Like Capt. Sully before him, expect tell-alls, interviews, promotional appearances—and maybe even a TV movie?
People thinks a film adaptation of the flight-attendant-gets-revenge story is inevitable, and suggests several actors who could play Slater, including Neil Patrick Harris and that dude who was Gunther in Friends:
Neil Patrick Harris: Harris can once again ditch his Dr. Doogie Howser roots - and who wouldn't mind Slater's onscreen character bursting into song?
James Michael Tyler: Forget the resemblance - these guys share more than a similar haircut. Tyler, known for his role as Gunther on Friends, knows all about bad service - he managed a fictional coffee house on the show.
