Re: Laurence Fishburne IS Perry White in The Man of Steel
I'm indifferent on it. Perry's not a hard role so he should be able to pull it off. But I did hope for a charming "papa bear" type, so Fishburne doesn't exactly fit that mold too well.
Ah well. I'm sure he can do the commanding and irritant newspaper chief. |

Meh. I never cared for him in anything I've seen him in. Hopefully he'll surprise me this time.

Re: Laurence Fishburne IS Perry White in The Man of Steel
my first thought was that it seems like they're trying very hard not to make perry white look like a jjj ripoff, despite the fact that perry came first.
love the casting. i became interested in a black perry white when it seemed like lennix was up for the role

Re: Laurence Fishburne IS Perry White in The Man of Steel
Interesting. My preference would be a more comic accurate Perry, but I actually kind dig this casting. Fishburne is capable of playing the gruff but caring editor in chief of the Daily Planet.

Re: Laurence Fishburne IS Perry White in The Man of Steel
i remember there being a discussion about a black man being cast as Perry White and whether or not it would be a problem. my position was that, while there are plenty of capable white actors for the role, i wouldn't mind if a black actor played Perry.......and i stick by my position.
that being said, i've always like Laurence Fishburne, even in Predators. i thought he was pretty awesome in Mission: Impossible III also. i'm not exactly jumping for joy over this casting, but he's yet another strong actor amongst a slew of great actors.....also another academy award nominee.

Re: Laurence Fishburne IS Perry White in The Man of Steel
I'v been a huge fan of Of The Fish when I saw Boys in Da Hood. Guy is a good actor and a inspired choice.

Re: Laurence Fishburne IS Perry White in The Man of Steel
I remember having a nice debate over having a black actor play this role in this movie. Guy said they were a million white actors and they shouldn't look at a black actor since they were a million white ones that could play the part faithfully. Well to that person, I just have to ask?

Re: Laurence Fishburne IS Perry White in The Man of Steel
Hmm...Interesting. I like him, but I'm not sure he'd make a good Perry. No, not because of that.
