One of the consequences of the pope’s death might be on the career of Gene Greytak. Who is Gene Greytak you might ask, well he is the Catholic actor who has played Pope John Paul II so many times that he even has a set of vestments from the Pope’s tailor Gamarelli.

Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994)

Hot Shots! (1991)
Repossessed (1990)
And on TV he played the pope in
"The Wayans Bros."
"Picket Fences"
"Murphy Brown"
"The Golden Girls"
"Just the Ten of Us"
"ALF"
"Night Court"

I always thought Patrick Stewart would look the part, and of course he’s a very good actor.
That IS remarkable. Me, I remember thinking, when JPII was first elected, that Brian Keith would be my choice to play him in the movie.
Greytak looks a lot more like him that Albert Finney did.
