Read for August Hill's lines originally

So I have the sixth season of Oz and one of the special features shows the original cast audition tapes. The first one they show is Harold Perrineau, reading Hill's lines, but then they switch to Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, and instead of reading Adebisi's lines, he's reading ones said by Hill! Later on they show him reading Adebisi's, but the fact that he auditioned for the role of Augustus Hill is pretty neat to me. Can you imagine if he ended up landing that role? I wonder who else could've played Adebisi in that case.

I was going to tell you the character's name was Augustus but I see you have it right in your post just not in the subject line. Anyway, that is kind of interesting. I can't imagine anyone else being Adebisi.

I do not have attention deficit disor...Ooh, look at the bunny!

Aww, son of a bitch! I can't believe I typoed that! Must've been cause I was watching SoA, and they've got a character named August. Or maybe I just went stupid for a little bit.

But yeah, I honestly can't either. This guy just nailed it. But seeing him as Augustus would've been pretty interesting, albeit odd.

Who cares if he wrote August instead of Augustus.. You obviously knew what he meant .. Stick to the damn topic at hand instead of trying to correct people.. This is how ppl get off topic and it's so annoying
