ive heard a film is coming out on the life story of bob.

And rita marly, pick JAMIE FOXX to play bob.

Now; tell me if im wrong but as a ratsaman i am 100% certain he cant pull of this role as bob. he will redicule it and make it into a comdey or something.

Also, i never heard an america actor pull of a conviceing role of a jamacian LET alone the patwah/ or jamacian accent

Tell me your views?

Not familiar with his stuff but just went to his website and I am glad he will get some decent songs to sing instead of the drivel that he plays on that website!

A good actor should be able to adopt any accent. But as I said, I don't know him so dont know if he is a good actor or not.

To me, what is more imnportant is not who is acting it, but who is directing it as he/she will be the real make or break of the film, as will the script writer.

The director needs to be powerful in terms of ideas

JAMIE FOXX is not a bad actor, it just a differnt role than his usuall

anyway i look forward to checking that film out
