i think marlon would do a good job originally i would have wanted eddie murphy because he looked up to richard pryor. mike epps can be funny but in a nerdy condescending way so maybe they made a better choice.

it would have made more sense with MIke and looked better.

Hollywood does not care about giving us real quality. They just love raping black folks out of their money!!!! They just want a big name!!!!! a cocoa brown black man playing a light complected man. They don’t give a damn, it woun’t look beleiveable!!

SIDEBAR # 2

Am I the only one annoyed by the Monique Show???? Why does she have to scream at me? Why does she have to flail her big arms at me? Why does she have to say baby so loud and so much? Why at the end of the show, to get people to come on stage and dance, does she have to KEEP saying “Come on, come on, come on…?” Just WHY????

Mike Epps would have been great in that role. He looks kind of like him, he can contort his face like Richard, and he has the whole ex-drug addict thing that Richard had. I don’t know if Marlon can pull that off without being overly silly. Richard was funny, but led a troubled life. I think that role would have put Mike Epps in the main stream. Guess it wasn’t meant.

SIDEBAR:

Am I the only one amazed at how Wendy Williams is the only person that can get you to come on her show (radio or tv) and get you to tell off on yourself?!? First the chris Rock and Nia Long thing now this. I’m sure it’s been some other shyt I’ve missed along the way too. Say what you want about Wendy’s mannish looks but the bytch has the gift of gab baby!

No one currently out there can play Richard Pryor.
This actor has to be like Pryor himself.

Look wise, Mike Epps would be better for sure. He looks more like him. But who knows what happened behind the scenes for Marlon to get it. Marlon, just don’t mess this up…

Yeah, he could have gotten him good. I can’t see the Marlon thing, but maybe Marlon is good.
