I don't think there's been anyone better than Gary Bakewell as Paul McCartney and Ian Hart as John Lennon in the 1993 movie Backbeat. If you get a chance to see it, then do, and you'll see what I mean. Bakewell also played Paul in the 2000 TV movie The Linda McCartney Story and Hart portrayed Lennon in the 1991 movie The Hours And Times.

As for some of the younger actors around now, I wouldn't have a clue as to who'd be best suited to such roles.

I guess it was primarily about Stu Sutcliffe and featured John (Hart) a little more than the others, though I thought Bakewell looked remarkably like Paul and portrayed him very well indeed.

I think Noah Wyle looks a little like John and he would probably do a good job portraying him http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/smile.gif

If Paul and Dave and Kurt had a kid he'd most likely be adopted. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/wink.gif

Or the latest victim of the science of "cloning"... or possibly the richest person in the entire universe, if technology had advanced enough to enable three men to produce a child!
