Elvis in other people's bio-films
Does anyone have a complete (well, or as good as) list of bio-films that "Elvis" has been in?
Meaning in the same way as he was in "Great Balls Of Fire" (about Jerry Lee Lewis)

Well this is not a bio, but Michael St. Gerard as Elvis is also in the 1989 feature film
"Heart of Dixie". The scene is similar to the Tupelo Homecoming performance.

The following doesn't help to answer your question, but it is a great list, so I am mentioning it anyway.
Elvis Presley (actor) has been credited alongside the following actors:

While I was browsing IMDb I came across some trivia, that was previously unknown to me.
1960 Golden Apple Awards
Most Cooperative Actor
Jack Lemmon
Most Cooperative Actress
Nanette Fabray
Janet Leigh
Least Cooperative Actor
Elvis Presley
Least Cooperative Actress
Debbie Reynolds
----
1966 Golden Apple Awards
Most Cooperative Actor
Bill Cosby

I don't suppose Elvis got those awards in the mail did he?

They put a heading up showing which year the story has reached, but for '1956' no mention of Elvis !
Here is a black guy, in the US entertainment business in 1956, and the impact [& implications] of Elvis bursting on the scene is airbrushed out completely !

No !...is Elvis featured in? Is Elvis featured, for instance, in "Ray"?

that tyler hilton kid could play early early elvis--like '53-'55...but i think he'd have to gain about 10 pounds to fill out his face a bit more to play '56 etc...
elvis had that adorable little poochie tummy in the army induction pics.
but yeah, this tyler guy looks at least closer than that jonathan rhys...whatever the talentless bastard's name was who sucked the last elvis biopic down the drain.
i didn't particularly like st. gerard in great balls of fire, funnily enough i thought he did a better elvis impersonation in hairspray when he wasn't even playing elvis!!! i think it was the accent that was stilted. when he didn't have to try an accent in hairspray, his acting was better, yet the character was undoubtably based on elvis, so you got an actor playing elvis without them trying to mimic him.

"Thank you very much. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the big, freaky International Hotel. Those little weirdo dolls on the walls. And those little funky angels on the ceiling. Uh, this is my first live appearance in 9 years. H-uhh! Thank you. I've appeared dead a few times, but this is my first live appearance. Before the evening is up, I will have made a complete and total fool of myself, and I hope you get a kick out of watching it." --EP
