Hello,first post?
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

Who do you think??

Who is that?

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

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.

David Bedella. He played Satan/warm up man in Jerry Springer the opera and currently playing Frank N Furter in the Rocky horror show

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.

he's WAY too old!!! and he has NO BUTT he can sing... and he's a fine actor ( currently staring in Rocky Horror as Frankfurter)
but Prince? no way

WAY TO OLD

He's 44 I think,and has a gorgeous butt LOL. I've been in the third row for Rocky and can vouch for that

Okay, I'm having fun with this question.

How about Evan Ross (Diana Ross' son). A newbie on the scene, but seems to be a good actor.

Yeah,I can see he could work

Warwick Davis.

Oh, wait - this post belongs in the "most sarcastic thread."

Sorry.

OMG I nearly peed PMSL!!!

Halle Berry!

this fella was born to play the part

Whoopi Goldberg, but only if Gary Coleman is not available. Or vice versa.

I like the suggestion for the Ross kid, but my pick would be Joseph Fiennes - I realize he is white which could throw the whole thing off - but an excellent actor with a Princely look about him.

How about Dave Chapell...Oh wait, he already played him Seriously though, I would say Terence Howard!!!

That'd be a hard load to tow. LOL

Check this guy out:

Don't know if he is an actor and/or a singer, but he comes pretty damn close to looking like The Original.

I think Terrence Howard is a terrific actor, but the only person who could truly do an autobiographical film on P's life is Prince. I think we all know he'd probably never sign off on something like that. He is way to private. Even if someone contacted him b/c they wanted his input I don't think he'd be into it. Who knows for sure. Maybe I'm wrong. Prince just seems to like to leave things to the imagination. He likes his mystery.

Jesus, what a total cop-out answer. Since no Prince bio-pic is in the works, this is all in fun. Don't take it so seriously. Have you seen some of the musician bio-pics that have been made? Of course, only Prince himself could be an autobiographical film of his life (as that is the very definition of autobiographical), but others could take a stab at biographical film.

By the way, Prince isn't that mysterious.

Hmmm, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. I wasn't taking it THAT seriously. I was just giving my opinion. I said that I like Terrence Howard because I think he's a phenomenal actor. A cop out answer?

Evan Ross or Bow Wow

They both could play a young prince 70's-89 circa!
They both have very gorgeous eyes too and the complexion, not to mention cuties!

Better watch out...they might say your answer is a cop out...
