How about Eddie Griffen?
I know Don Cheadle has more respect in Hollywood,but I think Eddie Griffen would have been better for this part. It seemed like in certain parts he was acting like Eddie more than the character he was trying to portray. Seemed like he stayed up watching re-runs of Malcolm & Eddie on BET and the movies "Foolish" and "Undercover Brother" 10 times.
This would have been the part of Eddie's otherwise mediocore career, but it became just one of Don Cheadle's mediocore movies!
