  1. he doesn't even have to look like barack. what counts is his ability to project the character.

  2. i read it just fine. but it appears that you're not making the disconnect between physical likeness & the artist's ability to actually play the part. in "panther" chong was a dead ringer but a lousy actor (although it was a lousy movie anyway). what's paramount in biopics is the actor's ability to "channel" the historical figure; bot how they look. denzel looks nothing like malcolm x either but he was nominated for an oscar. why? because his portrayal was magnificent

  3. i can read just fine. again, clearly you're caught up with looks more than with an actor's ability to create a character & project it. "acting chops" means absolutely nothing unless you write for entertainment tonight. denzel washington looks NOTHING like malcolm x. it was ability to project the character that makes you perceive that. i guess you don't really know much about art. that's fine. go watch E!
