WHO could play SLY in a movie?

I think Sananda would be a good choice--tall lanky and facial structure
could be similar

Obvious choice, but why not Prince, since Sly was a definite influence in Prince's music and style? smile

it wouldnt make any kind of since for prince to play sly. he's too light and looks nothing like him.

i like the idea of andre, and i guess with the right clothes and stuff he could look somewhat like him. but can he BE sly?

in all seriousness if he still looks like himself, i say let sly play sly...but aint he got some kids?

Dunno though, I've seen some pix of Prince's face (profile) where I thought he kind of resembled Sly. With the right makeup, who knows, Prince may be able to pull it off. giggle I heard that Sly had at least one child, not sure if he has more than that, but it's possible. smile

Prince is way too short and light skinned to play Sly, he looks NOTHING like him.

Blair Underwood, maybe?

Get him some false-looking dentures and I think he'd made a good Sly.

it aint really about lackin actors. its about finding someone that can look like him, play the guitar, and throw themselves into the role so much that they become sly.

hell if jamie foxx could play the guitar i sure as hell would suggest him! someone i just thought of tho would be wood harris, remember hendrix yall? yea he aint look exactly like him or sound like him, but dude did a really good job with wat he was workin with. but their probly gonna pick an unknown
