Yea good calls, especially Fishburne, I knew I was missing someone.

What we don't have is a wealth of talented black actors with fat faces like MLK.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Who?

Creator and portrayer of Madea. Has created a cottage industry of films based on that setting.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Jamie Foxx doesn't look like MLK at all, but he's a good enough actor

He's 62. MLK died aged 39. There are other black actors out there people!
Jackson can play anywhere between 35 and 70 though it seems.
MLK on the other hand was rather old looking- but then so were many folks back then.


But anyway, its just the theatre. There have been far worse examples of actors playing people they looked nothing like, were totally the wrong age, etc... and that was in movies.
