Prince's defining acting moment:"That ain't lake Minnetonka!"

Really?

I thought his defining moment was in "Fargo".

No different eras

1. Prince is too white, Charles was jet black
2. Charles Po southern black, Prince middle class northern mulatto.
3. Charles drugs and drink arama
4. Prince, one e and a bottle of wine
5. Charles more soul, Prince more funk

Tell me he did NOT just use the term Mulatto in this day age? Damn shame. READ, PEOPLE, READ!

PRINCE CAN'T ACT - t=There I said it!
MULATTO - There I said it!

Ugh! I think the real question here is who would play Prince in a movie about himself? - potential new thread fodder... feel free 2 plagiarise!

In New Zealand, nearly everyone is mixed race and they don't get violent over terms used to describe them. Whether u like it or not, Prince had some White blood in him and there is no shame in the name mulatto. In Mexico most people are Mestizo 9mixed race) and the same in Brazil.
I am a Mulatto myself and I aint seeing no orthodontist.

Personally I don't think mulatto is rude so much as it is just dorky and old-fashioned.

By the way, I think Jamie Foxx is so good he could play Prince!
When it comes to funk, i am junkie

Wow, how in the world did this thread turn into who's darker and who's lighter? The topic is based around 3 talented BLACK men; Ray, Jamie and Prince. What in the fuck does shade have to do with anything? All three men are/were BLACK men. Hell no, Prince shouldn't have played Ray, for one obvious reason. Prince can't act. Not in terms of playing another person. Sure, Prince can play like Ray. Prince can play like damn near anybody. That's why they called him the human jukebox when he was a kid. But act? Nah. Jamie was born to play Ray. Let the man have his glory for doing a wonderful job. He deserves it. Prince has his thing. P has his glory. Hell, any of ya'll ever see Jamie "do" Prince? Jamie can match a lot of P's higer registers, and PLAY P's piano parts. Jamie's no slouch himself when it comes to being a musician. He's a good pianist and drummer.

biggrin Well I think I'll miss L.A. on my trip to the states, I can see the headlines, bush blows up NZ after American Prince fan insulted by NZ Prince fan, thanks for defending me, PS To all of you, Ray is the best movie Ive seen this year. Jamie is a very convincing Ray he even looks like him.

Jesus, this is probably the dumbest thing and probably one reason why alot of people on the net don't work in Hollywood at Casting Agencies. It's not even funny if you are trying to be funny. It's just a dense thing to say.


Im not going to have mercy on you because you know better

Prince is 5 feet. Ray was six feet
First problem in the casting dept.


Prince playing Ray charlies is like Jimi Hendrix being played by Abe vigoda

Prince playing Ray Charles is like Ice T being played by Kevin Spacey

Prince playing Ray Charles is like Shaq being played by Mini me

Prince playing Ray Charles is like Mozart being played by Eddie Griffin

Prince playing Ray Charles is like Ayn Rand being played by Wanda Sykes

Prince playing Ray charles is like Malcolm X being played by quentin tarentino

Prince playing Ray charles is like Marie Antoinette being played by Jill Rodriguez "shit, where the fuck is my cake"

Prince playing ray Charles is like Paulie shore playing General Patton

LOL! Relax, son! First off, "I" wasn't threatening YOU, I was just telling you what these people out here would do if you called someone of mixed heritage a "mulatto"...hopefully saving you a trip TO the orthodontist.

Secondly, you used the wrong "OUR" wink - People in glass houses trip me out! wink biggrin...Also, you need to learn how to place your commas a bit better since you're trying to front like you're an English Major - OK, HOMIE! YO, I BEES LIKE DAT! (LOL!)

a mulatto is a mixed race person, as far as im concerned we're all mulatto, but most people define it as a person with 1 parent of 1 race and the other of another. theres no such thing as 100% black anymore
