My only vote for someone would be for Dave Navarro, BUT he has all those damn tattoo's and he would have to shave off that scruffy looking goatee.

I'd also nominate Larenz Tate, who is only 32 at this point. He did a very good job depicting Frankie Lymon in another bio-pic.


I AGREE!!!

I was reading the news earlier about the death of Raul Castro's wife...when I spotted the following picture and thought; "Is that what Prince would look like in a uniform?"

Hello,first post? biggrin
So who do you think could play the part of Prince? I think its about time we had an autobiographical film about him. I personally think this guy could play Prince down to a T...fab actor and amazing voice biggrin

Who do you think??

We all want a big hit again because
we want to relive the Hysteria & Pandemonium we experienced
when Purple Rain was Hot. Actually, he doesn't care if it happens again or not.

Hey, at the concert, while hubby and I were leaving, I noticed a guy on the main floor dressed in black leaning over talking to someone who looked almost exactly like Prince. It was frikkin' scary. Y'all know who I'm talking about?

I'd nominate Jeffrey Wright, an excellent character actor (Basquiat, Syriana, just to name a few), though he might be a little old.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0942482/

I'm afriad people's choices will be too skewed towards people who look most like prince. While a physical approximation is necessary, mannerisms and pure acting ability are equally important.


I just saw the movie Basquiat a few weeks ago, and there were scenes where he reminded me of a "graffiti bridge" era Prince, and said 2 myself that he should play Prince in a biopic. It's good 2 see that I'm not crazy!

I would also agree. nod After seeing him in the "Barbershop" movies, I thought he could be a good candidate.

Well whoever plays him would have to be short, sexy, and equally as talented.


I'm more interested in who's going to play Wendy & Lisa. hmmm lol

UH-UH! NO YOU DIN'T! ANYBODY but crazy-ass David Blaine! lol lol

I still think that lil' dude I saw at the concert on Saturday on the main floor is pretty much a dead ringer for P. Now, I wish I would have taken a picture of the guy!

Anyway, wasn't Purple Rain was a semi-biographical depiction of P.'s life?

U are probably talking about Julian. He lives in Minneapolis and has his band called Julian's Ride. The problem is, he's trying 2 build his music career on his looks, which 2 me he looks more like Morris Day/Jesse Johnson. If U check out his myspace page http://www.myspace.com/julianride14 , U can hear some of his music. One song sounds EXACTLY like "Come On", so much so that Prince should have sued him 4 not only stealing his song, but doing a crappy job at that. It's the 5th video down, right above where it says "Pimp out your web page with...". Press play on the video and listen 2 it... lol

Hate to say this but has Prince had any really interesting events behind the scenes we don't know about to make a film?

I mean - no drugs(?), no boozing. He's a control freak with his music but he has to be.

He has a very very private life.
