Kurt Russell didn't resemble Elvis that closely, but he made it work.

Especially if we are going for older Elvis.

Have you seen the movie Bubba Hotep? Bruce Campbell plays old, old Elvis in that one.

eating a peanut butter, bacon and banana sandwich so we can assess with our own eyes.

Never saw Bubbo Hotep, but vaguely remember the movie title.

As for my OP, the kid reminds me more of a young Chris Isaak, to be honest.

No wonder he got the part. Looking forward to the Aussies teaching us all about Elvis.
