We have seen him in some pretty silly movies, but he has a great range. I mean to play Mr. Robinson, Buckwheat, Axel Foley, Quick, "Jiff" Ramsey, the Klumps...you get the picture. He can play a variety of roles. Plus he does a fantastic Richard Pryor imitation. Aside from being funny, he has in the past shown some decent dramatic acting, but never really had the stage set to give us more than a touch of that here and there. A movie like this would give him a chance to do some serious acting from the heart. The good thing is, Eddie loved Richard, and I don't think he would take the role if he didn't think he would do it justice. Eddie is a good actor.

Even looks like Richard Pryor. He is the best suited for the part when considering overall casting. What about Comedy King Steve Harvey?
