May I nominate Tom Hiddleston as lead in the (nonexistent) Howard biopic?
I've thought of him in connection with Howard before! Not so much the visual likeness—he reminds me more of Peter Cushing; it's the cheekbones—but when I try to think of present-day actors with the hot intellectual persona, he and Kate McKinnon head the list. I know Benedict Cumberbatch is supposed to be one, but he really doesn't work for me. (He's so good in comedy. People should let him do more comedy!)
Do you have a presence on Dreamwidth? Chances are that I will no longer be around on LJ except perhaps in some kind of archival fashion soon.
