The members of punk icons The Germs were so impressed with ER star Shane West's portrayal of their tragic bandmate Darby Crash in a new biopic, they've asked him to front the reformed act.
West's film, "Now What We Do Is Secret," has yet to get a release date but the actor became a huge Crash fan while making the movie - and was thrilled when The Germs asked him to revive his character for a string of live shows.
Crash committed suicide in 1980, aged 22.
