biopic of the legendary singer/songwriter
Bob Dylan features different actors playing the part of the Minnesota native at various stages of his remarkable career. Among the actors playing the singer are
Cate Blanchett, who portrays the man during his
Don't Look Back era incarnation;
Heath Ledger, as an actor playing one of the fictional Dylans in a movie within the movie;
Christian Bale, as the Dylan beginning to chafe at being associated so strongly with political causes;
Richard Gere, portraying the post-motorcycle accident period; and
Marcus Carl Franklin as the young Dylan who passed himself off as the second coming of
Woody Guthrie. Each section of the film not only has a different lead actor, but offers different looks that reflect various aspects of popular culture at the time.
