I'd imagine that finding an actor to play Charlie Croker would be as hard as finding someone to play Ignatius Reilly.

I guess I'm the odd man out as I liked the book. A Man In Full was the first place I'd heard the term 'boys with breasts' regarding starved and over-exercised housewives prone to visits to their plastic surgeon. Its a term I still use today.

They're still fairly prevalent in Buckhead.

Clancy Brown's character in Billions is the closest thing I can think of. He could probably pull it off.
