Definitely Eddie Murphy, but he might not be able to for much longer, unless the movie focuses on his later years.

I remember Spike wanted to do it with Wesley as James Brown, would have been interesting.

Either way, whoever they get they would probably have to limit the dancing cause I dont think are many serious actors who could move like JB

I'd want Spike directing it.

Now who would actually play James Brown is an interesting question. Eddie, I guess.

And to the man above me, Eddie might have another decade to be able to play James Brown. He's walking around looking like he's 25 and shyt.

Eddie griffin resembles him the most but I'm not sure if he could act.

Eddie had that old skit on snl where he was either James Brown Jr, a James Brown like cat or hell James Brown and he singing/ dancing about getting in the hot tub:laff: Eddie could do it and he would kill the role just like he did Dreamgirls
