Looks like Brad Pitt and Steven Soderbergh are going to bring the Billy Beane story to the screen. Who would you have play Beane and who would play Kenny Williams?? They got to have KW in there.

Nathan Lane to play Beane and Dave Chappelle to play KW(just for entertainment purposes)

Jeffrey Wright for KW. Or maybe Chiwetel Elijiafor (butchered spelling I'm sure).

 

Norm MacDonald plays Beane and Aries Spears is KW in my Moneyball movie.

If they're not available, David Spade is Beane and David Allan Grier is Kenny.

I'll take your Nathan Lane, and add Denzel Washington. I can see that Kenny type edge in Denz.

Jeffrey Wright for KW. Or maybe Chiwetel Elijiafor (butchered spelling I'm sure).

Jeffrey Wright would be a good choice indeed.

I'll take your Nathan Lane, and add Denzel Washington. I can see that Kenny type edge in Denz.

 

I can see Denzel as Kenny yelling at reporters:

 

KennyWilliams: Aww, you motherf***ers. Okay. Alright. I'm putting cases on all you b****es. Huh. You think you can do this s***.... You think you can do this to me? You motherf***ers will be covering baseball in Pelican Bay when I get finished with you. I'm the man up in this piece. You'll never see the light of... who the f*** do you think you're f***ing with? I'm the GM, I run s*** around here. You just live here. Yeah, that's right, you better walk away. Go on and walk away... 'cause I'm gonna' burn this motherf***er down. King Kong ain't got s*** on me.

Brad Pitt has already signed to play Beane.

I can see Denzel as Kenny yelling at reporters:

 

KennyWilliams: Aww, you motherf***ers. Okay. Alright. I'm putting cases on all you b****es. Huh. You think you can do this s***.... You think you can do this to me? You motherf***ers will be covering baseball in Pelican Bay when I get finished with you. I'm the man up in this piece. You'll never see the light of... who the f*** do you think you're f***ing with? I'm the GM, I run s*** around here. You just live here. Yeah, that's right, you better walk away. Go on and walk away... 'cause I'm gonna' burn this motherf***er down. King Kong ain't got s*** on me.

 

And... end scene.

If you want a tirade...it's GOT to be Samuel L. Jackson. Hands down. I know he's too old to play Kenny, but nobody does a tirade like the "L."

I think this is kind of racist, thinking a black guy has to play kenny williams. I mean, it's 2009 guys, we have a BLACK president. You guys are living in the past.

ha.

So what you're saying is Barack Obama will guest star as KW?

Out of work Juan Uribe as KW. LOL. I love Juan's voice. It's like he sucks helium right before he talks.

I picture Erik King from "Dexter" as a good KW.

I can see Denzel as Kenny yelling at reporters:

 

KennyWilliams: Aww, you motherf***ers. Okay. Alright. I'm putting cases on all you b****es. Huh. You think you can do this s***.... You think you can do this to me?

Yeah, you're missing a line in that quote. It's after the Pelican Bay part.

 

Better include it for accuracy.

Or maybe Chiwetel Elijiafor (butchered spelling I'm sure).

That would be brilliant casting.

Somehow I think KW could pull off doing the role himself.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Michael Jai White for KW

Michael Jai White for KW

 

I couldn't decide if that was urkel or theo huxtable...

It's like he combined the name or something. Jameel White is Mr. Steven Q. Urkel I know that for sure.

No, he was the black mob boss in The Dark Knight
