Pick someone whose life you think would make a great film.

An epic movie about "Carolus Rex", or Carl the 12th of Sweden as he is most known as. He is the greatest war regent of Sweden in recorded times and was feared all across Europe. He defeated Russia with the odds 1 to 5 during his first army battle. I know there are historic examples where people have done better, but that's just the start of an amazing life story.

Oh yeah and he killed bears without firearm or bladed weapon. A club and a net. He also fought the Turkish army with fifty men and put up a fight 😄

And you call me the troll.

His story would make a better movie than many stories out there about historical characters. The reason large parts of the world feared him was because they believed, with reason, that he had God with him in his battle. They also believed he was not killable because he always charged in the first line and no matter how much they shot at him, he was barely ever hit. He assessed three bullet injuries while fighting on the front for 21 years. He did not once return home after he set out once he became king.

He persuaded the Turkish regent three times to attack Russia out of loyalty to the Swedish alliance. When the Turkish people refused to be moved into war because of the charismatic Swedish king, they took the Turkish army to the Swedish embassy in Turkey and against fifty men had to work real hard to even get in. Canons, fire, bullets. The Swedish force stood against everything.

Carolus Rex survived that too and the Turkish people forced him to go home to Sweden. During his return to Sweden, he was shot his third time in the chest. He refused to return home and heal, instead moved his forces against the Danish front to continue defending his country.

Carolus Rex is a better movie character than the crap majority that Hollywood and other movie companies write about 🙂

what's so interesting about him? 😐

the most heinous and powerful criminal gangster of the 20th century

people like Rick Ross, the Cali cartel, Pablo Escobar and the entire crack epidemic that spread across America from Los Angeles to New York, wouldn't have existed without Oliver North. His work not only fueled drugs into America, propped up and protected major international criminal organizations, but he also sold weapons to all number of terrorist groups.

Did I mention he worked for the NSA during all this, was actively involved in overthrowing several dictators, and personally shredded all the files relevant to these wrongdoings? Oh, and he was acting on presidential orders?

Now he is a commentator on Fox news, and says wonderful things like "America needs to stop apologizing to the world".

whats even more awesome, this is all a matter of public record, and George Tennent, while director of the CIA, essentially confirmed the close ties between North's people and the drug cartels, and nobody knows who Oliver North is.

If there were ever a biopic just waiting to be made, that is it.

Hugh Hefner.

if he did all this & shredded the files how do we know it happened?

self confession?

I think Oliver North sounds like an interesting movie. I just looked him up 👆

Billy Idol.

Kader Abdollah. Studied physics in Teheran, where he joined the left-wing movement opposing the Sjah and later Khomeini, fleeing to the Netherlands as a political refugee in 1988. He then went on to write ''The House of the Mosque'', which became a best-seller and later was elected as the second best novel ever written in the Dutch language.

Dallas Stoudenmire, an underrated and overlooked Old West lawman and gunslinger would make for a great biopic.

And I second Otto Von Bismarck and Emperor Norton I. 😄

I am actually trying to devolop a tv show out of this guy who is my best friends brother.everybody that meets him agrees that he is the strangest oddball character they have ever met.He is every bit as hysterical as fred sanford only HE is real. 😆 😆

he kept a detailed journal, he didn't shred everything/there are multiple, redundant copies of some documents, and say what you will about the media, America has some of the best investigative journalists on the planet
