Which actor to play Prince in Hollywood biopic? Jamie Foxx played Ray Charles in "Ray"
Joaquin Phoenix played Johnny Cash in "Walk The Line" Surely Hollywood will someday make a big biography movie about Prince. Which actor could play him? | |

Denzel Washington. I know it sounds stupid, but dammit somehow he would pull it off. He always does | |

I can't think of any actors who really look like him. I have a friend who looks quite a bit like him, but he's Italian and Irish. Prince is a tough one. The actor would have to be the perfect mix of ethnicities to pull it off. Not to mention, have a deep voice, and not be too tall!

you're joking right? You forget, this is about Prince, therefore you need an actor that can come away looking sexy especially for the early day - bikini briefs/leg warmers, makeup, leather, lace, heels, etc. There is no way Denzel can do that. Plus Denzel looks nothing like Prince. | |

Plus Denzel looks nothing like Prince. Diana Ross looked nothing like Billie Holliday that's true, however Billie Holliday dressed and looked pretty average. Prince's looks and dress is too unique, you really need someone who can look close enough to pull it off. | |

Plus Denzel looks nothing like Prince. Yes I was joking. Just making a testament to what a find actor Denzel is (by saying somehow he would pull it off). But more then likely it would be some unknown that the studios would need to do a search for. Literally every attempt anyone has made to intimate him fails miserably IMHO. Except this dude who I saw do a Prince imitation with a cover band on the strip in Vegas a few years ago….  | |

Of course he's not old enough yet but I think Noah Gray-Cabey was born for the role. In about 8-10 years, he's gonna be fine as hell and he's got the skills to pull it off. This kid is lethal on a piano.

He is a cutie! They could start shooting the scenes for Prince's childhood now, then finish the film when he's older. Bad idea? Wanna hear me sing? www.ChampagneHoneybee.com | |
