I just bought Under the Cherry Moon. I had always heard that is was really weird and I'll have to say I agree. Now don't get me wrong P could read the phone book and I would think it was cool! Do you think that maybe in the right role and good direction he could pull off the acting thang? What kind of role would you like to see him in?

The Scarlet Pimpernel, with P as Percival.

I'm thinking, basically UTCM, but good.

I'm not really a fan of Prince's acting.

He could play Macaulay Culkin in the Michael Jackson Story.

yeah, i know but he's got such a nice sharp face i love to see it on film.

Oh oh! What was that thread about remaking My Fair Lady with Prince?

Oh that would be swell.

He definitely looks good on film, but when he opens his mouth, it's all over.

may a silent film

A singing pimp.Because that's what he is anyway.

That'd be scary... even scarier than Prince's "Partyman" persona.

What role would you have in mind for him? Henry Higgins?

Oh that'd be ironic... the guy who played Henry Higgins in my high school's production (which was great by the way) has a lot of physical smilarities to Prince (except that he was taller than me... and his decent is more Greek/Irish).

But I think "My Fair Lady" is great on its own... adding Prince into the mix would just be too weird for me.

going to try to load this pic.

Anyone see "The Fifth Element"? Chris Tucker's character Ruby Rod or Red or whatever was actually written by Luc Besson with Prince in mind. Obviously Prince turned it down, but I would LOVE to see Prince play that role!!

Prince would have been great as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean moviews.

After watching the "Partyman" video, I always thought he would have made a cool "Joker" in the actual movie (no disrespect to Nicholson, who totally nailed the role).

Prince as a pirate?

Since he's getting older now, I'd like to see him portray a more mature role, like, say, 'George' in 'The Jeffersons: The Movie'.

Jack Nicholson was horrible as the joker!If he and Jim Carrey had switched villans then it would have been great.Jack Nicholson did direct the Monkees movie Head so I will give him some credit.As far as Prince as jack sparrow I don't think so.How about Prince charming in the sleeping beauty movie?He certainly is a smooth talker!

Deep Throat

None...the man is a horrible actor...

although I would like to hear him score a film once.

Sure, the gold jewelry, tons of eyeliner, bohemian outfits with tight pants, frilly shirts and flowing scarves is TOTALLY Prince. Not to mention the big-eyed, over the top facial expressions and slightly. . . okay overly, queenish behavior. Prince woulda been da bomb as Jack Sparrow (he'd hardly be acting), even though I loves me some Johnny Depp.

I'd like to see him play a dad with teenage children.

He could tell them that their favorite music is crap, and really mean it!

RUHip2TheJive said:

Heck yes! Have you seen the video for Gold? He was totally rockin' the sparkly pirate duds!

I take it back maybe Prince should play a pirate!Its just hard to let go of Johnny Depp.

I'll never be able to let go of Johnny Depp! I've loved him since the 21 Jump Street years!

Still, there's enough room for another pirate on his ship...

Funny...when I first went to go see POTC during the part where Captain Jack frist gets off the boat and is walking along the dock my mom is like, "Hahaha why does he remind me of Prince?" And the people next to us overheard and were like "We were just thinking that too!"

He should have been in Dream Girls.

But then Beyonce wouldn't have a role...

If they were to remake 'The Wiz', he'd be an excellent wizard. They could have an amethyst city. Set in the land of snow. GW could be the scarecrow in search of a brain, MJ could be the tinman in search of a nose, Tamar could be Dorothy in search of a record deal, and the lion could be????? Just kidding here. I think his life story would be an awesome tale and I would cry like a baby in the end...

You mean, after he dies?

Or just up until the Super Bowl?
