Frank West looks like Dan Akroyd

[Metro]

Or am I the only one who thinks that?

[Lazy Lizardman]

I think "everyone" thinks that... or least I did too when I first saw him without his sunglasses lol

[Thatherton]

We need a Ghostbusters or Jake Elwood costume

[Chef GrumpyBlitz]

only if they turn all the zombies in this game into ghosts

They used to claim that he looked like Morton Downey, Jr who is was a flamboyant shlock talk show host that made Phil Donahue look mainstream. He was also the father to the guy who plays Iron Man currently in the various Avenger movies.

I agree that the first person I thought of was Dan Akroyd. Frank West doesn't necessarily have Dan Akroyd's mannerisms, but it would fit with one of Akroyd's more wacky but less memorable performances -- that of Dr. Detroit.

Dr. Detroit was a lousy movie, my brother and I went in the largest theatre within 30 miles because we had been hyped up to see it from the short trailer and it was an empty theatre except for us two. It was a total stunning bomb.

However, Dr. Detroit had extreme gall to attempt what he did under the conditions he was in. Think of him as a super grudgy mean clown with a prosthetic arm who takes on all of Detroit's mob. To him, leaping into this Zombie infested mall for a televised vacation -- yeah that would be right up his alley.

Akroyd could act, but he usually just mailed it in during that era. He also married a real looker in Donna Dixon, which seems hard to believe, but that also would fit the Frank West mystique.

Dr. Detroit is a classic, sir! I always wanted to see: Dr. Detroit II -- The Wrath of Mom. A younger (relative to his age now) Akroyd could have gotten away with playing Frank. In the upcoming Crackle movie they have Rob Riggle playing him and it's a pretty good take.
