hhhmmmmm - you know Kia I could see him in that role... also what about Blair Underwood - he is sexy as all get out and I can definitely see him in that refined, smart detective role

Some Blair would definitely hit the spot.

Re: Hating Tyler Perry: Why Does He Raise the Ire

How about Ving Rhames as his sidekick?



Or Michael C. Duncan?



I'll bet Tyler gets his lips under control; remember if nothing else, he's real smart and ambitious. I do kinda like Blair underwood, though. Maybe Idris could be Sampson, more muscular, less cerebral.

Re: Hating Tyler Perry: Why Does He Raise the Ire

but Sampson is a white dude... I guess they can write him anyway they feel like thougjh

Re: Hating Tyler Perry: Why Does He Raise the Ire

Adrian Lester or David harewood or Lennie James have the gravitas. But the yanki actor who could compete is Jeffery Wright.

an outsider who could do this is Moss Def. i saw him on stage and he is very very good.

Definitely Adrian Lester. I love Lennie James too, but he's getting a bit long in the tooth. David Harewood looks funny (to me).

LOL @ Morris being cheap.

Don't you all sleep on Jamie.. Maybe height would be his one draw back
But Jamie can be convincing when he wants to

Re: Hating Tyler Perry: Why Does He Raise the Ire

Re: Hating Tyler Perry: Why Does He Raise the Ire

I thouht Jamie lacked the gravitas in the role of the DA in Law Abiding Citizen...

As a president Blair under wood was not convincing....

They make no material change. They don’t get rid of the villains in their life. They don’t make attempts to move upward. They just hug. It’s victim porn.

I love dhim in that movie Wahalla...

I guess because Jamie is such a goof ball when I see him acting &quot;serious&quot;, he forces you to pay attention to the character. You forget that he is a comedian.
