Tennessee Vols: Which Actor Would Play Each SEC Coach?
By Zach Ragan
Nick Saban — Alabama Crimson Tide
Actor: Kevin Spacey
What you know him from: House of Cards, American Beauty, The Usual Suspects
Why this works: It’s going to take a hell of an actor to nail all the complex layers of Nick Saban.
And I can’t think of anyone better than Kevin Spacey to take on such a huge role. Saban is a control freak, and that’s exactly what Spacey players on “House of Cards”. He might have to dial back the southern charm/accent in order to play Saban, but there’s no doubt that Spacey is versatile, and dedicated, enough to pull off playing the legendary football coach.
