Lets say you are offered a role in a major production to play Fischer
[whatever age you are, corresponding to whatever age he is portrayed at],
and say, there is a $3 million offer for 6 months work - what would go
through your mind in deciding to accept or not?

That's the first question, the second being, if not you, then who you think
would best portray him from the current Hollywood cast of champions?

For three million dollars for six month's work, nothing goes through
my mind. I'll take the job.

For Fischer in his last years, if they scruffed up Christopher Lee:

he'd certainly look the part.
