Random Thought 2/19
Could there be a better cast ensemble than that of the classic movie "Drumline"? Seriously, what do you think happened during casting discussions? Here is my guess.
Producer: "We need to get a really tough black guy to be the band's conductor. A real hardass that will be intimidating with a true screen presence. He needs to demand respect AND bring in the audiences. I am thinking maybe Samuel L. Jackson or Laurence Fishburne?"
Casting Director: "We could try and get Morgan Freeman, he was great in "Lean On Me"...or maybe Denzel, he won an Oscar for his lead in "Training Day".
Director: "Guy, guys, guys....enough already! This is the most important role of the film, we need someone special. Get me that real funny guy from the 7UP commercials."
