BURBANK, Calif., April 17 (UPI) -- Comic Jay Mohr would be the best fit for Larry Birkhead in a movie on Anna Nicole Smith's life, a poll by Burbank, Calif.-based AccessHollywood.com showed.

Nearly 1,700 viewers logged on to the syndicated show's Web site during the weekend to vote on whom they thought should play Birkhead, the late Smith's one-time lover and father of her 7-month-old daughter, Access Hollywood said in a news release.

According to the poll, 59 percent of the participants thought Mohr was best for the role while 28 percent said they thought actor Owen Wilson could do the job. Nine percent selected former 'NSync singer Lance Bass and 5 percent picked "Malcolm in the Middle" alum Frankie Muniz.
