...plays Perseus as a wily proletarian, not far from the Jason Statham stud in Leterrier's 2006 movie Transformer 2. That's the way to play this character, since the movie is also about humans who have tired of being the gods' playthings and are ready for a slave revolt. Perseus will be their grizzled gladiator (Worthington often channels fellow Aussie Russell Crowe in that 2001 Oscar-winner), their smoldering Spartacus...

Glammed up in sequined duds that would make a showgirl or Liberace envious, he pleased his aging audience, singing his early hits that once had the musk of sexual revolt but by then were golden oldies. And while he redefined Sin City's notion of a headliner show, the town changed Presley as well. At the end, the kid from Tupelo, Miss., may have been more Vegas than Elvis...
