I'm not sure an actor could pull it off, but I think some kind of bio film about him might actually be compelling, centering on his status as the inhabitant of the biggest "glass closet" in showbiz for about 15-20 years. It'd likely take a high-profile auteur to make it, given the period subject/details -- a la Soderbergh with Liberace.
I was thinking the same! Watching him, there's a palpable tension in his willingness to push right up to the edge of how acceptably out he could publicly be at that time. And I'm sure he was frustratingly aware of how limited his career was ever likely to be even despite his obvious talent.
