The search for the lead actor to play Tenzing Norgay, a movie being produced by former US President Barack Obama still continues. The lead role of the Obama produced film was recently auditioned for by Nepali Angtemba Sherpa. Although bearing an uncanny resemblance to one of Nepal’s most legendary climbers, Angtemba was denied the role due to her age. Almost 60 years old, Angtemba remains determined that he is the one for the role, however he is open to take up new roles.

39 years old when Tenzing Norgay first conquered the impossible by being the first man to set foot on the summit, Angtemba would’ve been primed for the role had a movie been made immediately after the summit as the casting team supposedly is looking for an actor in his late 25s to early 40’s.
