No one could have played author William Burroughs better than:

Peter Weller (called William Lee - a Burroughs pen name) in Naked Lunch.

Viggo Mortenssen (called by fictional name of Bull Lee) in On The Road.

Ben Foster in Kill Your Darlings.

Kieffer Sutherland in Beat.

Each of these actors brought something to the role of Burroughs.

Ever see Robert DeNiro in 'Johnny Angel'?

He played 'Louis Cypher'........Satan, in other words, and as he talked in one scene, he peeled an orange with his thumbnail......no expressing how mesmerizing he was.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers As King Henry VIII. I've seen a few other Henry VIIIs, but the one from The Tudors is my favorite.

peter sellers was also supposed to play major kong [dr. Strangelove] but broke his arm when he fell off the bomb, so was replaced by slim pickens. this said, I don't think anybody could have done the job better than slim pickens.
