Go Fanboy - Everyone Has A Favorite

Jamie Foxx is undoubtedly a great actor. He has the Academy Award to prove it. His acting is so good in fact that the upcoming Kane and Lynch movie has had cast him opposite Bruce Willis who is playing Kane. This obviously means he's taking on the role of Lynch.  I guess I missed something in the game.

While it's not that big of a deal since, it will certainly throw off some fans of the game. But if John Leguizamo, who is obviously not Italian, can play Luigi, why the hell not have Foxx play Lynch. The news came from screenwriter Kyle Ward who tweeted last night that Jamie Foxx is in as the psychologically unbalanced mercenary James Lynch. He had to clarify that he wasn't referencing the movie based on Uncharted that he's also writing, after one user jokingly asked about "a black Nate Drake."

The movie's producer Adrian Askarieh has mentioned in the past how impressed he was by Bruce Willis' enthusiasm for the script. "He called it one of the best action scripts he's read," said Askarieh, "and Bruce is an expert in terms of action scripts because he's read everything over the last 20 years." Now Foxx, who is relatively new to action movies as compared to Willis, will be playing alongside him.

While Kane appears like he won a Bruce Willis look-alike contest, Foxx's resemblance to Lynch isn't quite so uncanny. Very early rumors had Billy Bob Thornton pegged for the role, but Foxx it is. Again, it is just a movie. Sorry that I don't have any other examples besides John Leguizamo playing an Italian. It is March Madness after all.
