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

Yeah, I can see Ben Stiller doin' a fantastic job of making Prince's bio the comedic film of the year He's just too damn funny to take seriously . . . . | |

I think Prince should play himself.He still looks young enough.People have played themselves before in other films.  In a mirror where your sweet reflection used to be. | |

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. | |

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? No one. God doesn't just tells me how much he "LOVE's" me, God shows me how much he "LOVE's" me. Both telling and showing "LOVE" means to "LOVE". They go hand in hand. You can't have one with out the other.

SO STOP WITH THE RACE CARD -IM SO SICK OF THAT SHIT! WE R ALL N THIS TOGETHER! 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. "If you wanted to buy a Sam Cooke album, where would you go?" | |

UCantHavaDaMango said: 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.

wonder505 said: redsock34 said: 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.
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.....

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. I agree God doesn't just tells me how much he "LOVE's" me, God shows me how much he "LOVE's" me.
