My part was only to portray him in the last five years of his life. It's tragic. Elvis was so talented and had a really tragic end. I'm very sorry for him."
But this wasnt the only reason why Meat wanted to play the role: "I wanted to play him badly, infact I even met him personally once. It was about eight years ago, on Broadway. After one night of the Rocky Horror Show he suddenly appeared backstage and said 'Great! you'll become a big star!' and I was standing there as if lightning struck me. I had a lot of respect for him. To play Elvis was the role of my dreams." ...
