LaMonica Garrett as O.J Simpson as opposed to a comical Cuba...thoughts?


After watching Cuba Gooding as O.J Simpson on The People v OJ Simpson: American Crime Story, I think it's fair to say his performance does not shed or depict any true light on the real O.J character.I think it is also fair to say that his voice and physical appearance gives off the impression of a comical O.J...However after watching the movie Daddy's Home I wonder why LaMonica Garrett was not cast in this role for the TV Series?I mean his voice and physical appearance suit O.J'S far better than Cuba.Not to mention his award winning smile, perfect for mirroring a smug O.J.,he has similar eyes to O.J,Cuba is a great actor and has had some great roles.However he is just not for this,Cuba you just can't fool us into believing your cold hearted murderer.Your face just doesn't have it in it.Sorry Cuba.x

Couldn't agree more. Thought it was just me.

I think Cress Williams is an even better fit
