NO NO NO- I want to See Jamie Fox Play that roleJan 5th, 2007 - 16:09:31

I think Jamie Fox is a better candidate. After his performance in Ray, I think he can take on this role.

I think Sam has the range and the life experience to play the part. Usher is a little too feminine to play it and none of the movies he's been in have done that well. He should just keep doing his music videos and leave the acting to some actors

I really think, Jamie Fox is the number contendor for the party, he could really nail it with no problems

Samuel L. Jackson would be a much better candidate for the role than Jamie Foxx. Foxx has had his 15 mins. and now people should start to notice that he is not all he's cracked up to be. Jackson is more seasoned and looks more like James Brown than Foxx.

Eddie Murphy should play him!Jan 5th, 2007 - 18:32:10

Eddie Murphy plays a JB look-a-like in Dreamgirls. With a little work (and a wig) Eddie would be a perfect James Brown!

It doesn't matter to me who portrays James Brown, as long as they do him justice!

It would be a great role for Usher because he can dance and sing really well and he could portray a great 'Entertainment James' However, Jamie is the best at studying a character and bringing that person to life, in other words Jamie would be the better actor... and Samuel L. Jackson is a Pro. The name Samuel L. Speaks for itself and he is one of the best out there. I would have to select,
'Jamie Foxx'... -Ms. Kim

usher would suck playing james brown. usher might b able to sing a bit but he would never b able to sound like james brown or even talk like him for that matter. sam jackson is better for the role but he looks nothing like james brown neither does jamie foxx, even though he did a great job playin ray he is NOT GOOD FOR THE ROLE OF JAMES BROWN

With all due respect, James Brown was not a very attractive man. Usher is too 'pretty' and too soft to play that part unless they use a lot of makeup and imagination. Sam Jackson is too tall. Jamie played Ray Charles too good to turn around and play James so soon. It would possibly confuse the audiance. Eddie Murphy played a good James Brown on Saturday Night Live. However, everything Eddie plays reminds me of Donkey from Shrek. Even in Dreamgirls he reminds me of Donkey. Maybe they should cast a new and upcoming actor to play the role. Hold a casting call and start fresh.
