Just heard about this on the Dan Patrick show. How appropriate and hilarious for everyone's favorite Yankee:

 

From the bag to drag?

If the Yankees keep losing, perhaps Alex Rodriguez can fall back on acting. He’s being approached to play a drag queen in an upcoming indie movie on Salvador Dali — “The Surrealist” starring Alan Cumming. Producers think A-Rod would be ideal in the role as Dali’s “factotum social secretary” Potassa (a stunning, leggy drag queen). “It’s quite a good idea and has a serious side to it,” says the director, Philippe Mora. “Dali was obsessed with baseball. Walt Disney used to take him to [games]. At first it sounds hilarious, but it’s a serious [offer].” Mora said the idea to approach A-Rod was cooked up by Richard Dupont, a Dali and Andy Warhol acolyte who also points out A-Rod “has great legs.” “Potassa would ring everyone and say, ‘Dali’s in town, come meet at this restaurant,’ ” explains Mora. In 2007, Dupont told New York magazine, “[Potassa was always] wearing a beautiful gown from Oscar de la Renta or Halston, and . . . would run around with a big bottle of Champagne and say, ‘Cham-pan-ya!’ ” Mora told us Dali’s baseball obsession extended to an animated short created for Disney in 1946, “Destino,” which featured a ballet dancer who falls for a slugger. (The film was completed and released in 2003.) A-Rod’s potential casting, of course, is still just an idea. “It’s early days,” Mora said. The role might not seem to be macho A-Rod’s cup of tea, but then, he did date Madonna. But a source close to A-Rod says, “He’s really focused on the season, and on winning a championship.” His rep had no comment.

haha, too funny. If he does this, he does realize he would get a lot of criticism. Drag Queen Rodriquez. The articles points out that this is not his cup of tea, but I disagree. This suits him well.

Apparently the creators of The Dugout are making movies now.

Patrick Swazee (SP) played a drag Queen and pulled it off. I think A-Rod could too.

 

I think I could start to respect the guy if he did this.

i think that this a field that he has yet to venture as he should focus first on his career in ports as this may also suffer once he decides to be an actor. also it is important that a rod should be able to showcase his other talents but in the right time.This will be a very difficult role to fill in so h really ha to prepare for this if he decides to do it
