isn’t everyone forgetting one important fact when banging on about getting an “actor” for the role. Mr. T wasn’t exactly an actor himself now, was he?

@ Darren

I agree, i think Leonard Roberts would do a 10 times better job then Cube would. I think Roberts was very good in Drumline and was very good in Heroes…..

BA has gotta be Ving Rhames! While we’re at, I second George Clooney for Hannibal and Jim Carey for Murdock. I’d like to see Greg Kinnear for Face, though.

Let’s give Ice Cube a chance.

Hope they also get George Clooney as Hannibal Smith and Mark Wahlberg as Face.

Three Kings reunion!

Add Jim Carrey as Murdock!

Good casting!

Alright. Enough of my backward name spelling. I have to chime in one more time. 1) Cube was great in Barbershop. But everyone else was better than Ice Cube. 2) You want to cast a new BA Hollywood? You really, really, want to do that?! Okay. Do you want someone other than Bob Sapp? Okay....but if you were thinking about non-actor Cube you might as well have considered non-actor Sapp. Right? Wrong. Here is who they should look at should he step up: a talented underrated actor named Leonard Roberts, who was in Drumline and the cable film Joe & Max from a few years back. And if A-Tem don't get him...at least get another actor

sorry doug, and the rest of you, but i think ice cube would be an awesome choice for B.A. As much as i would love to see him do it, I highly doubt Mr. T will reprise his role in the movie. Who does that leave to fill his iconic boots? I doubt the new B.A will have the exact same Mohawk, i’m guessing a more William Gallas at Arsenal type hairdo. After this, thins about ice cube in “Boyz In the Hood” with all that angst and anger he portrayed. Put this into a pissed off war verteran and it would be perfect. Despite all the shit he has put out, ice cube can still get ghetto and mean!

”I wouldn’t try to duplicate what Mr. T did, but I will have the same impact on you when you were little watching the TV show.”

Cocky little fucker isn’t he?

I hate to say it Doug, but he probably already has the part (or as good as). I can see him suiting the mowhawk better than Michael Clarke Duncan or Ving Rhames and he will be cheaper than them.

Obviously it should be Ving Rhames!!!

Other than the three films that Sir Jiggy mentioned above, this guy is worthless, and it’s a miracle his buddies haven’t capped his ass after Are We There Yet.

Agreed Sir Jig.

I love Boys In The Hood and he was good in that. I cannot deny. Not the dude to play B.A. though.

i hate most of Cube’s movies too,Nagy. to his credit though, he has brought it to 3 very different roles: Doughboy [Boyz-N-The-Hood],Craig [Friday] & as Fudge in Higher Learning.
