Mar 20 2008'Street Fighter' Finds Final Boss
With the unavailability of Raul Julia, the latest Street Fighter movie attempt has at last found an actor to fill the jackboots once occupied by The Man Who Would Be Gomez Addams. Disturbingly puffy-faced pretty-boy Neal McDonough, heretofore known to me as shirtless screaming blonde guy in Ravenous, is set to portray the villainous M. Bison to Kristin Kreuk's titular heroine in Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. As you may recall, McDonough joins an already talent-heavy cast including the jock from American Pie, The Kingpin and a Black Eyed Pea. Look for audiences to whiningly complain McDonough is being f***ing cheap by using the 'Psycho Crusher' move over and over starting sometime next year.

Neal McDonough looks like the offspring of Neil Patrick Harris and Ian Ziering.

Hee! Regardless of his parentage, that guy has always creeped me right the hell out.

I must give the blogger major credit for making a reference to Ravenous, what a strange movie. Now if only they can get Vanilla Ice to play Guile my life will be complete.

he's also the sidekick cop in Minority Report, Tin Man in the sci fi series of the same name and the dad in appalling lindsay lohan film I Know Who Killed Me.

His eyes are creepy as hell.

He was also the security guard guy (or whatever) in the horrible film adaptation (read: butchering) of Michael Crichton's far superior novel, Timeline.

as a huge fan of the street fighter series i must admit that the characters within the game are sooooo unique that it seems almost impossible to find actors to portray them. This movie may be good, but i doubt it.
