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?

hell yeah. Btw, the actor should know how to sing pretty well too, if D'angelo was smaller, more light skinned... he could play prince. But he's maybe a bad actor. I dunno. I would want one with a great voice, and ain't that many looking like prince that can both act and sing.

that is wonderful but i dont think that is the point. if this is a biopic about the life of Prince why would you have a white person play Prince? that doesn't make any sense.

rather than get into racial debate when its not necessary, I think the bigger issue is the story itself, which will require a great deal of cooperation from Prince and we all know how that's gonna go. neutral

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.

News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.

What about that guy that plays him on the SNL skit. You know the one....It's the one where Minnie Ripperton's daughter plays Beyonce? He would make a good Prince, but can he act in a full film.
