If Hollywood make a bio pic of Prince it would have to be several actors starting from a young kid to a teen to a adult. The one person who come to mind to play the teenager would be the guy who played dawayne on what's happenen back then.But if anybody plays Prince it would have to be a non actor.

I love the fact that there is no known Hollywood actor who could truly play Prince believably!!

Leaves Prince as original and unique as he is, was and always meant to be lol

I mean, who truly can capture his dance moves, sex appeal, singing style, look and all Prince's raw emotions on screen?? No one . . . .

You're all missing the point!

In today's movie world, you don't need a *real* actor.

They would use CGI (computer graphic imagery).

Prince would be a computer-generated actor.

Like Smeagol in Lord of the Rings, or Shrek.

Surely Hollywood will someday make a big biography movie about Prince.

Which actor could play him?



No one.

True. He is 1/2 black 1/2 Italian. He's such a unique character, I can't think of anybody that could pull it off. If they've got the musical talent they don't have the look or vice versa.

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!
[Edited 9/20/06 16:04pm]


I agree.

I also think that a move on Prince can't be made, if Prince isn't in it.

The boy in "Musicology" would play a good young Prince. smile

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


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.



lol lol lol

No matter how good an actor Denzel is, I doubt he would even do this role.
I don't see Denzel wearing bikini briefs ect..... lol lol

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.

When Omar Epps can play Springsteen in his biopic without nobody raising an eyerbow at it, then we can get Ryan Phillippe to play Prince and I won't say shit. I'll even buy a ticket.

how does who raised you have a thing to do with this topic anyway?
don't be mad at me. i'm just saying. Prince is Black (no matter how much y'all wish he was racially ambiguous). It would make sense that somebody Black should play him if there was to be a film made about his life. Ain't like Hollywood is short on Black actors. If you're still mad, just think of the money they'll save on makeup costs.
