Pseudo killer Karr wants to cast Depp

The man who falsely claimed to have murdered Jonbenet Ramsey desperately wants Johnny Depp to play him in the movie version of his life because he believes they have so much in common.

Karr was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of murdering the six-year-old beauty queen in her Colorado home, but on Monday all charges were dropped pertaining to the case after DNA evidence from the scene eliminated Karr as a suspect.

Karr's family has already sold the film and book rights to his life story.

The Smoking Gun website has posted transcripts of an audio conversation between Karr and the University Of Colorado journalism professor to whom he falsely confessed, where he talks about his top casting choices.

Karr says: "I already know the actor I want to play my part…Johnny Depp…He reminds me so much of me. And he looks like me."

Karr is currently being extradited to California, where he will face child pornography charges from 2001.
