Search for actor to play Phil on film
Phil Lynott OPEN auditions were held in Dublin yesterday to find someone to play Phil Lynott on the big screen.
Producers are looking for an actor/singer aged 18 to 35 to play the Thin Lizzy rocker in a documentary about his rise to stardom.
Six-time Oscar nominee Jim Sheridan and awardwinning documentary maker Colm Quinn are working on the project.
My Left Foot director Sheridan said: “Having known Phil, and loving his music from the very start, it’s a great honour to celebrate his life and work on the big screen.
“I see this as a non-fiction movie, one meant for the cinema and I can’t wait to start the process of finding our modern day rocker.”
