Prince did very well in Purple Rain, especially going through the motions of his fathers suicide attempt, and he wasn't that bad in Under The Cherry Moon!

So what if Prince did a movie...a supporting role with someone...if he did, wouldn't it be too cool and who would you like to see him star with in a movie?

I'd love for Prince to star along side Johnny Depp!
In a vampire or period film...(LOL) kinda funny huh, but it would be a big change for him.

As long as he does not direct it and it is directed by an established talent he could go okay as long as he doesn't have to stray too far from type.

I'd love to see him in a comedy playing lots of roles. He can do that; he's been creating characters for his songs since always.

I'd just like the music, please

He did fine for a first timer in PR but an actor he's not. He does pretty good at times but he's a little too aware & needs too much control of the situation. Now if he were to turn himself over to a director, maybe that'd be a different story.

No! He is a rubbish actor... Stick with the music...

no, not really.

I thought the sentence was incomplete....


"Wouldn't it be cool if Prince started acting like he has alotta music that he wants to put on his website?"



but I guess the sentence was complete...

I would love to see him work with a big-name director in a supporting role. He has a little skill and could really steal a movie with the right role and direction.

Biah is right, tho.

Come to think of it, there were a lot of unanswered questions in Graffiti Bridge...

Prince could also come back as Christopher Tracy's ghost in the sequel "Further Under the Cherry Moon". He could direct the lives of Tricky and Mary, mess with Mary's father by deleting important business files on his computers and dropping objects on his flunkies' heads, and, of course, give Mary's mom orgasms she never had as a ghostly casanova/pizzaman.

Or, maybe he should just stick to music and we should get behind reviving the acting career of one Mr. Jerome Benton, Esquire. After all, he stole every movie he was ever in with P.

That's exactly what I was thinking right around scene 2 of Graffiti Bridge.

Why, oh why???

sorry guys but i have to say prince is a shite actor!under the cherry moon people!!!!johny depp would make our beloved p look very silly indeed.

The more the merrier with Prince. I would LUV 2 c him in more movies. I agree with the PR, the tears & emotions were very good. He can act, and he is funny!! As a vampire YES baby! In a comedy, Ya-yuh (with Dave Chapelle, of course). In a romance film, Aahhhhh, yeah baby! Gimme more Prince! Insatiable....

I think the Prince of today could seriously be a decent actor, maybe even a good actor under the right director. He´s acted in so many different roles in his own art, whether it be music, lyrics, liveshows, videoclips, movies or alter egos.
Who knows, maybe someone will rediscover Prince as an actor again and we might be in for a surprise in some very unexpected script for an interesting movie.
Is Quentin Tarantino a Prince fan?

well....i did LUUUUUV under the cherry moon cuz he was funny as hell...but i dont think he should do movies...im thinking....stand up comedy? LOL i'd watch it...i think he'd be funny
