Bassett will be great and possibly, make Jackson even better.

I hate how you "white" theatergoers bandy about the same predictable colored actors names for particular roles and feel the need to post pictures to illustrate your choices....ugh

Hey, What the hell was wrong with my posting a picture of Nia Long? Updated On: 6/21/11 at 07:15 PM

It just feels like you don't think anyone knows who Nia Long is. If you suggest Patti LuPone for a role, do you go out of your way to post her head shot?

I post pictures all the time so yeah, I probably would have.
And excuse me for being a "white theater goer" and commenting on a black actress. I'll just stick to writing about my own kind from now on round these here parts.

And you know, NIa Long is NOT a household name so even if I did post a pic because I didn't know if people knew who she was by name alone I dont see anything wrong with that.

Oh Jordan...I was just joking... I love you so much....you are one of my favorite posters...I guess I was just over reacting. I apologize.

And for the record. I am black. I don't think people were posting the pics because they didn't think there were people who didn't know who these actresses are, I think, as I did, I could just see them in the part.

Also, I am having a bit of a problem with Jackson playing King. He just seems too old to be playing King at 39.
