Let's cast the Jussie Smollett movie

What do we know about his mother? Is she desperate and grieving? This could be a nomination role for Viola.

For Robin Roberts we could get that butch girl the Robin Thicke divorced.

How about director....I think Paul Verhoeven could do the story justice (seriously) .

R1 No the short brother is almost a dead ringer for Kevin Hart....Hart would have to bulk up though.

Jaboukie Young White could definitely play Jussie.

Liam Neesom can play the Nigerian brothers.

The whole Smollett family should be Trans actorx.

Calvin Tran of Project Runway should play the Subway sandwich artist. His only line would be, "Oh here go hell come."

A Beluga whale can play Gaby Sigourney.

Maybe Darrin Criss will come back and play gay. He can play Jussie, but without the shoe polish on his face.

The part of Chrissie Metz singing at Jussies sentencing can be played by a manatee.

Al Sharpton can play the fat black dudes that lost a ton of weight and now looks anorexic, I mean Lee Daniels.

Liza Minnelli as herself, for no particular reason.

Idris Elba can play both soon to be deported Nigerian brothers.

by Anonymousreply 38February 22, 2019 5:28 PM

This has a RuPaul’s Drag Race skit written all over it. And so, naturally, Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman will play Jussie.

The Nigerian brothers will be played by Bob and Monet.

Sharon Needlea is Ann Coulter claiming all hate crimes are hoaxes.

Bob is also Kamala because, let’s be honest, he is the only person with a brain in the cast. Except...

Bianca is Judge Judy, inserted for entertainment purposes.

Trixie can be Jurnee Smollett dressed as a clown because that’s all Trixie can do.

Bob reprises the role of Cookie. Bob is working overtime this week.

The lanky rapper brother from Empire is played by Naomi. The hot bipolar bodybuilder Empire brother is played by Chi Chi cuz Chi Chi has a hard man’s body. None of the Empire characters are in the skit because no one has watched Empire for four seasons and no one remembers the show.

The pit crew play the cops, obviously.

Brent Corrigan makes a cameo for the web-only prison rape scene.

How about the guy who played Elvin on the Cosby Show. He looks very young for his age. (Jussie would be PISSED if an actor twice his age were cast as him.) And, he's probably looking for a gig that will allow him to quit his job at Trader Joe's.

by Anonymousreply 40February 22, 2019 5:37 PM

Sean Hannity played by Kevin Costner.

by Anonymousreply 41February 22, 2019 5:38 PM

I say cast the most effeminate, middle aged, soft-bodied guy and make him out to be a total weakling fairy. I have a feeling nothing in life would upset Jussie more than seeing himself depicted that way.

Michael Avenatti as Mark Geragos in the role he was born to play

R44 That's such an honor, thanks! I love "concocting a Smollett". Smollett is going to make it into the dictionary at some point, and not for any reason deluded Jussie might have hoped for (and you know he did.)
