im very upset about Mike Epps losing the part
he woulda killed it
Mr Pryor personally picked him before he died -
Yeah Mike has some semblance although I don't know if he kould get into that serious type of range
-
idk about Marlon Wayans but it's always like that when they first announce it and you're like "he cant play so and so" and then you see the movie and you see the person did a good job.
-
I actually wouldn't mind seeing Marlon play the part! I really don't like Mike Epps too much, never did.
Anyway, Chris Rock said Marlon was amazing as Richard Pryor... -
i'm a huge Richard Pryor fan, i've seen every movie, watched most every recorded stand up and own the massive CD boxset.. hell i was even born in Peoria. let me just say i'm very thankful for this choice and think it's genius. Mike Epps would be ok but Marlon is a more talented actor - i think he will absolutely nail the role, and call me crazy but i sincerely believe he'll get nominated for an Oscar and it will set him up for a serious acting career. just my .02
-
I can see Marlon doing his thing. He's a talented actor.
-
only time will tell
i thought jamie foxx was going to play him -
Mike would've nailed the funny, but Marlon will nail the serious side of Richard's life.
-
I think Marlon's acting has improved. I havent seen myself but people have said he isnt terrible anymore.
-
this is the best thing that could happen to this flick. mike epps is a terrible, very unfunny actor.
-
Mike Epps isn't funny to me and he doesn't have a talent for acting unlike Marlon.
Matter of fact, Marlon just won the scene test, people saw him and thought it was perfect fit him as Richard.
People said Marlon is terrible because he hasn't been in movie for a long time.
Tell you the truth....Marlon is way more talent actor than all of his brother but maybe Damon Wayans. -
Good choice to me... about time he got a grown ass role
-
i think its a good move. idk if epps could have pulled it off. he'? or miss with me
-
Marlon can morph into different people like he did on the Wayans Bros. I think he can take the role better than Mike Epps did.

He's not hit or miss....he's suck as a actor because ever movies he been in....playing the same roles, same acting, you look at him as Mike, not look at him as a character. He couldn't have pulled it off.
Marlon can......for example.
The JOB episode of The Wayans Brothers Show...he's doing this commerical for Malit Beer....? is funny at the being. -
