EnzoGate marches on, adds police officer impersonation to intrigue
If the Stefan Eriksson story doesn't at least net a made-for-TV movie, it'll be a cryin' shame. The
latest development in the already corkscrewed caper is that a business associate of the Enzo-ending fallen tech mogul
was arrested Tuesday for impersonating a police officer in an attempt to buy firearms.
Word is that fellow Gizmondo executive Carl Freer attempted to pass off a San Gabriel Valley transit authority badge as that of a policeman in order to avoid a background check. In a related search of Freer's Bel-Air home and yacht, authorities found a dozen rifles and four handguns, of which at least one was illegal.
This weaponry wrinkle arrives on top of a recent raid at Erikkson's home that turned up an Orange County Sheriff's Department reserve deputy's handgun, a firearm whose registration history was confirmed on Wednesday.
All this intrigue and plot twisting out of an innocent little160 mph Enzo crash. Whodathunkit?
Early casting suggestions for Eriksson are hereby directed to the 'Comments.'

It depends on what story line you want
Tragic story line: Tim Robbins - Mix of power hungry megalomanic ("Antitrust") with man troubled by inner demons ("Mystic River"), and throw in a dash of sullen prison inmate (beginning of "Shawshank")
Comic story line: Jeff Daniels ("Dumb and Dumber" all the way - his hair even looks like Stefan's)

Randy Quaid, excellent!
Though personally, I'm kinda torn between Quaid and Gary Busey.

You'd think this guy was looking for some prison time with all the trouble he's been in during the last few weeks.

This piece of shit needs to be jailed for a looong time in a filthy maximum security facility where the inmates eat each other, then immediately deported(if still breathing).

I like the suggestions.
What about Kevin Spacey as the enigmatic intelligent antagonist?

John Belushi, oops he's dead, well Jim Carrey then, it has to be a comedian for sure, no one can belive this is a drama. Every time I hear something from this guy it just cracks me up, really, not even SNL can come up with a sketch like this, nobody would belive it.

While on the subject of lovely mug shots, don't forget Nick Nolte (below if the URL works):

This has all the trappings of undercover/espionage/terrorism. It makes the mysterious driver "who walked away" credible. It explains the "Homeland Security" poseuers that interviewed the owner after the crash and disappeared. It supports the "security company" schtik to which he has been associated. This guy's dirty as all get out.
The "locals" have on their hands a real live undercover FU from the CIA, some other nation or Al Q. Clue: Follow the money!
