Social media has found the perfect actor to play SF Giants legend Barry Bonds

With the red-hot television series Severance just wrapping up its second season, some viewers have made a connection between one of the show's stars and SF Giants legend Barry Bonds. A dream casting could be in the making.

The actor Tramell Tillman who plays the character "Milchick" in the show, bears a remarkable likeness to a young Barry Bonds as social media users have pointed out:

SF Giants legend Barry Bonds has a doppelganger

That mustache really does make the two look similar. Of course, many Giants fans probably do not associate Bonds with his mustache days because most of his dominance in San Francisco occurred while he was hairless, clean shaven, and bulked up as a result of...well we do not need to get into that.

It depends on where this hypothetical biopic would begin, but if it covered Bonds' time with the Pirates then Tillman's Severance appearance would be perfect. But if it went on to focus on Bonds' career with the Giants then Tillman would have to shave and add some weight or perhaps even put on some Colin Farrell-esque prosthetics to fully capture Bonds' size increase during those years.

As far as we know, there is no Bonds biopic in the works but it would be fascinating to see one someday. He really is the poster child of MLB's steroid era and the movie could touch on so many different themes which made Bonds such a compelling and complex character.

While Giants fans loved him and basically everyone else despised him as he became MLB's home run king, it seems that with some distance from his career more and more people are able to appreciate what he accomplished in his career despite his ties to steroid use.

Plus, the hypocrisy of players being in MLB's Hall of Fame who almost certainly used steroids or cheated in other ways makes the whole institution look bad. While it looks increasingly unlikely that Bonds will make it into Cooperstown someday, perhaps a really well done biopic on Bonds that paints him in a more sympathetic light is what is needed to truly change things.

Nothing seems to be in the works, but if work starts soon on a movie about Bonds then Tillman would almost certainly be the first one to receive the call to play him.
