Ne-Yo declines 'MLK' Movie starring role

give that man a script and he'll give you a prize-winning pony

 

He's the Greatest Of All Time.

 

u know...look at his staying power...i don't think he's ever done a straight-to-dvd joint

every movie he's in is a major release

he needs more roles, tbh

Eh, that's alright. I'm sure there are more young black male actors that are relatively known that may have the chops to pull off this kind of role.

Though I think in general it may also be that Neyo and the like are wanting more action packed/drama oriented 'normal' roles like the sort that Zac Efron gets a go at.

I think we're ready to be a star in series of movies, or leading man of a summer block buster (outside of Will Smith for once) at least within this new decade.

So I could see why he'd pass this up, sure it gives him exposure and he could be an american icon, but not the american icon that most other actors get a chance to be or even better, create.

 

Ne-yo is a no, give f Whitaker some hair dye and the role, fishbourne should have gotten Malcolm role spike and denzel are tight, will smith was a terrible rapper jazzy Jeff is was a brilliant dj who shouldn't have styled for such a clown rapper, I'm no racist lol but if a white dude calls you out on his 1st major single release then that tells the story

 

I believe Jeffrey Wright did a fantastic job in his portrayal of MLK in the HBO movie "Boycott" back in 2001. His performance was much better than the actual film.

 

lmao at the thread title

 

huh
