They just have to cast Micheal Douglas.

No man... Steve Buscemi!! I've always pictured Livermore to look something like him...
Funny, kinda weird... like a little thin man who learns trading early on in bucket shops...

Hmm, just googled him... he looked like this...

Which actor could play that? Maybe Fassbender with silly glasses...

I'm going to go with Michael Pitt. No relation to Brad.

Giovani Ribisi has done a "wall street" role via boiler room. And, plays an excellent sharp guy or a neurotic.

This is the more commonly seen picture:

They better not gloss over the early life of Livermore and his time spent in the bucket shops.

People around here love using the term bucket shop.

Why not? Brilliant how he played them, the bucket shops got burned by him...! Can't do that anymore....
