With an entertainment star as famous and successful as Micheal Jackson, may he rest in peace, you know there will be a movie out soon about his life, his music, his dancing, the lies, the scandals, and the accusations. Who do you think should play the role of Micheal Jackson? Remember it will have to be someone who can sing and dance. I don't think you will find anyone that actually looks like him to play the part. I say its a toss between Usher and Justin Timberlake. What do you think?

They will either cast an unknown and make them a star or it will somebody who has to transform into MJ, Jamie Foxx is a good candidate.

I could see them casting an unknown that excels in singing and dancing. Boy what that would do for his career. Jamie foxx could do it for sure but I have a feeling it wont be him.

Hi norah,
I don't even think JustTimberlake would even be good enough as for Usher, who is he, never heard of him, I don't think they should be even thinking of making a movie about Michael Jackson already, as he is not even in his grave yet and lets have some respect eh? no one can take his place. R.I.P. Michael Jackson.

Haha you are right. He is not in his grave yet but THEY are thinking of it already belive me that's the way show business is. It's a shame you don't know who Usher is because he is the one steadily taking Micheal's place in the music industry. You must look up Usher. He dances very well and he can sing while doing it. He puts a lot of effort and care in to what he does.

Usher would be cool at it, Justin would be good too but I think it would have to be a colored performer to pull it off.

You know I think there could be quite a few entertainers who would be able to play Michael Jackson. I remember years ago that there was a movie out about the Jackson 5, although I was so young, I don't remember what the name of it was or who played Michael in it. I just remember watching it with my mother. I do think that Usher, like you said would play a good Michael Jackson. RIP MICHAEL!

They should use an unknown person who looks like him. I can't think of anyone in the business that could pull it off. There was one actor which I don't know his name that protrayed him in the Jackson 5 movie. He was excellent but I'm sure he is up there in age now.

there are thousands of jackson inpersonators and look a likes just like there was with elvis, someone will be chosen to be him because they look like him as they dont actually need to be able to sing because his music can be played in the background to sound like they are

Yeah but they will want to make the movie as good as possible, like they did with the Ray Charles movie. They got Jamie Foxx to play and sing All the Ray Charles parts they really should do the same for Micheal. But you are right I forgot about all the crazy impersonators out and about. There will no doubt be auditions held to see who gets the job.

I dun think they will get any actors to play micheal jackson, because there are so many ple out there, who are just as good.. haha =D Besides, like u said, MJ is famous and successful, so not much directors or actors will wanna take such a risk in spoiling the overall image.. THus, by getting those real life impersonators, will do MJ good instead..
