Timothy Leary...

There were rumors that Leonardo Dicaprio was working on a biopic of Leary, but there doesn't appear to be any news about it past 2006.
I think it could make for a pretty fascinating movie if done the right way, as Leary and the world he lived in touched everything from LSD to Harvard to the FBI to the Beatles to Jack Kerouac to the Hell's Angels, to the Merry Pranksters to the counterculture revolution.
Apparently Dicaprio's father, George, was a good friend of Leary's.

Quote:
During the 1960s and 1970s, Leary was arrested regularly and was held captive in 29 different prisons throughout the world. President Richard Nixon once described Leary as "the most dangerous man in America".
