CREEPY LESBIAN UP FOR CONAN, CAPN AMERICA
FilmDrunk.com —
... According to /Film, Mike O’Hearn, aka Titan from American Gladiators, has “passed auditions” for the role of Conan the Barbarian, and is “sitting down with producers this morning.” (I hear that’s also how he pees). He also says he’s auditioning for Captain America next week, and I'm sure someone who looks like this would never lie. ...
An American Gladiator as the Next Conan or Captain America?

... reboot. Slashfilm picked up the news from a reader, then listened to the show and came back with this quote from Titan (who was supposed to meet with Conan folks this morning): "Today's not even an audition. They're bringing me in today just to sit me down and talk. How about that? It's even better than an audition!" ...

... to be the lead in Lionsgate’s upcoming reboot of Conan. Not only that, I heard the audio from the program and “Titan” insists that he has already passed the audition stage. “Today’s not even an audition. They’re bringing me in today just to sit me down and talk. How about that? It’s even better than an audition! And if he doesn’t take that deal, O’Hearn has a casting session scheduled for Marvel Studios’ big screen adaptation of Captain America. Source. Death Race and Crank star Jason Statham wants to be in a big ...
American Gladiators' Titan Is a Filthy Liar
Topless Robot —
... There is no fucking way O'Hearn is getting either of those roles. Maybe he auditioned, maybe he didn't. He sure as hell didn't "pass" either one of them. First off, for Conan, please look at his face in the above picture (purloined from /film, like the scoop). That is not the face of a barbarian. It's the face of a prissy nobleman from the 19th century, whose father forces his coal miners to work extra shifts, and delights in their misfortune and agony (which makes it all the more unsettling on his massive body). ...
American Gladiator to Play Lead Role in New Conan Movie?
Film Junk —
... . According to /Film , Mike O’Hearn (aka Titan on American Gladiators ) has been auditioning for the part, and he thinks he is pretty close to sealing the deal. He says he has also been trying out for the part of Captain America. Now, keep in mind, this scoop came from O’Hearn himself during an appearance on a radio show, so it could just be a case of him trying to sound like a big shot. On the other hand, O’Hearn previously starred in a direct-to-video movie called Barbarian , which basically makes him a shoo-in, right? Personally I don’t see him as Captain America at all, ...
Rumors Put Marvel At The Bottom Of The Casting Barrel [Daredevil]

... news, blond American Gladiators star Titan (aka Mike O'Hearn) says he's auditioning to play World War II super-soldier Captain America. After Ed Norton and Robert Downey Jr., it's hard to believe Marvel will stoop to casting a reality TV show star as the Sentinel of Liberty. And as for Statham, I'm as eager as anyone to see Ben Affleck's terrible Matt Murdock buried forever, I'm not quite desperate enough to reach for Statham's trademark growl/smirk.

Hollywood Clip Joint for Thursday, Aug. 7
Scene-Stealers —
... This is funny: /film reports that this dumbass “American Gladiator” (who calls himself Titan) thinks he going to be cast as Conan the Barbarian and Captain America. This is great, because he gave the same story two months ago on another talk show. Listen to this quote: “Today’s not even an audition. They’re bringing me in today just to sit me down and talk. How about that? It’s even better than an audition!” Priceless. ...
