You’re casting a ‘sky’s the limit’ production of Obama’s Administration: the Early Days. In fact your budget’s so high you can even youthen/age/raise dead actors if necessary. Who would you cast? (In addition to him and his appointees and family you can have flashbacks to his childhood on Krypton or Bush/Cheney’s folk or McCain/Palin, etc.- anyone who’s signficant in his life story.)
I’ll start with:
OBAMA- Brian Stokes Mitchell (with an extra bonus if it can be a musical)
Why bother? Hollywood insiders know that **Common **has bought the rights to the hundreds of books that Obama may write about his favorite subject, and will obviously play him in the movie, *The Audacity of Hoping that the Dreams from My Father Result in Change We Can Believe In: Reclaiming the American Dream and Renewing America’s Promise without regard to Race and Inheritance *. Morgan Freeman will probably be his Dad and maybe Bette Midler his mum.
I’ll second three out of four of biggirl’s selections for the First Family, except I don’t think Regina King is as tall as Michelle Obama so I’d suggest Aisha Tyler.
The print ad for seven pounds, with Will Smith wearing a white shirt, his back to the camera and his ears apparently pushed out to look bigger, makes him look very much like Obama. (Can’t find it using Google.) Accident? I think not.
