Sorry, but I ABSOLUTELY cannot see Leonardo DiCapprio, whom I've never really liked, playing Wilt! I honestly cannot think of any mainstream actor who would be suited, who could get the voice, the walk, and the personality right. Like I said in a post on the old board, the only actor I can think of right off-hand who could pull it off, minus the height, would be the guy who plays "Darnell" on "My Name is Earl". He's got the right balance between friendliness and sincerity, helpfulness, and hair-trigger temper over some things(like when Joy told him that Earl had slept with his mama) that Wilt has, along with that lean, sinewy build, languid walk, and that big, unforgetable grin. He can also really bust a move on a dance floor! There's no way that DiCapprio could even come close.
