Who Would You Pick to Play Obama?

Post by **thibodeaux** » Fri Jan 02, 2009 9:07 am

You KNOW Hollywood is going to make an Obama-love-fest movie in the next 10 years. Who's going to be Obama?

Will Smith is a no-brainer choice, for sure. But he doesn't look quite right. There's another actor that I've seen that looks more like B-Rock, but I can't think of his name (or what I've seen him in, for that matter).

Anyway, discuss.

Shoulda asked Google:

Obama picks Will Smith:

Will Smith is Obama's pick to play him if a movie is made about his life, something the two have discussed.

"Will and I have talked about this because he has the ears!"

The dude from the Matrix movies... the one who was sort of the administrator in Zion.

A little old now prolly, but I've always seen a resemblance.

I'd like to see a white man play him.

I was thinking Bryant Gumbel.

Actually, I was thinking the guy that played him on SNL, for which they got alot of shit for. Or was that a different black guy being played by a white guy?

In the movie about Hillary Clinton, they'll get Eddie Murphy to play Obama.

Will Smith could probably pull it off. He did a decent Ali.
