Casting Couch Picks: The Obama Life Story

That's why Cybil would make a good Hillary. Because Hillary is so polarizing like Ms Stewart. Candice Bergen a great actress, not at all Hillary in real life but she could pull off the acting job. I think Ms. Bergen.

If Tyler Perry is making this movie, it'll be Shemar Moore as Barack, Kimberly Elise as Michelle, some unknown white actress as Hillary and James Earl Jones as Axelrod.

Re: McCain Called a Warmonger at Obama Appearance

The dictionary asserts that a ???warmonger is a person who advocates, endorses, or tries to precipitate war??? (Dictionary.com, 2008). The explanations go to the extent of stating a warmonger is a ??????noun???, a person who advocates war or warlike policies and list the synonym as militarist??? (Dictionary.com, 2008).
Most media personalities are required to have some sort of communication degree. Would you consider the English language imperfect or media representatives to be using the language inconsistently?

I like Harry Lennix as Barack Obama. But I feel very strongly that Jamia Simone Nash looks nothing like either of Barack's daughters.

funny how folks want to make david axelrod black, he's not, obviously, wish he were. go figure...

Harry Lennix is perfect! Regina King is almost perfect, not tall enough, but surely sassy enough. The kids...any cutie will do. I love the choice for David Axlerod (Dad from 90210)

If we're going by looks alone, Harry J. Lennix looks more like Obama than Will Smith. Of course though, Smith is a way better actor.

Sent by MH | 7:25 PM | 4-11-2008

Oh, without a doubt Harry J. Lennix IS Barack Obama on screen. Harry is a brilliant actor, has the look and the demeanor....and he's FROM Chicago?! Brothers & Sisters, it dont get any more obvious than that!

My vote is for Harry Lennix! I was hoping he would have suggested him on air, but they pitched Will Smith instead.

Annette Benning is a possible choice for Hillary.

Lets be clear, ears and popularity should not be criteria for an acting role in a film about the Obamas.
The actor who played White House Chief of Staff for the female President, in the brief TV series, Commander and Chief, is the right guy. This actor, whose name I cannot recall, is the person to play Obama. This actor also played the role of "Dresser", in the movie, Five Hearbeats. Just found it,
Harry J. Lennix is his name. He should play opposite the best possible Michelle Obama's character portrayed by none other than the person you guys got right, Ms. Regina King. Oh yeah, Steve Martin as John Mc Cain.

Definitely, Harry J. Lennix as Obama. He actually looks like him and is an excellent actor - better than Will Smith!

Joe Morton is a bit old but imo looks slightly more like Obama.

Aisha Tyler is perfect for Michelle Obama.

Sharon Stone looks like Hillary Clinton.

Harry J Lennix - Barack Obama
Sharon Stone - Hillary Clinton
Taraji P. Henson (Shug from Hustle and flow), Kimberly Elise, or Jill Jones, or Regina King - Michelle Obama
