I'm sorry, he should've played Beamen
Oliver Stone was going to cast Puff Daddy as Willie Beamen over Cuba Gooding Jr? Is he for real? Puffy pulled out because of scheduling conflicts and Jamie Foxx got the role, but come on. The reason for not getting Cuba Gooding Jr. was that he already played a football player in Jerry Maguire. That is so stupid. After seeing him in Jerry Maguire, how can you not want him as Beamen? I think Cuba Gooding Jr. would have been better. There also would've been less tension on the set. Cuba Gooding Jr. wouldn't have been getting into fist fights with LL Cool J. I'm probably going to get hammered for this, but I also think Cuba Gooding Jr. is a better actor than Jamie Foxx. Don't get me wrong, I loved Foxx in Ray. Thought he was great. But I thought Cuba Gooding Jr. was great in so many movies. Just to name a few; he was great in Boyz n the Hood, Judgment Night, Jerry Maguire (Academy Award by the way), Men of Honor, Radio. The only movie I thought Jamie Foxx was "great" in was Ray. Cuba Gooding Jr. should've been their first choice for Any Given Sunday. Not Puffy. Not Chris Tucker. I'm sorry, he should've played Beamen
