I thought he did well as MLK..

Not so much as Pac but it would take either a SPECIAL type of method actor or a complete raw unknown to pull off Pac. The key with Pac is CHARISMA and Mackie, while a very good actor (bordering on underrated) doesn’t exhibit a great amount of Charisma or supreme confidence (say in the way Denzel or Will Smith does)
They tried an unknown for that Tupac movie, he was straight trash
