Who I Think Should Play Whitney Houston Biopic




I've been thinking about this Whitney Houston biopic that Clive Davis is finishing up, to get it ready to cast auditions and record. I thought that Paula Patton would be great at portraying Whitney Houston I think they look alike. As far as the other people I heard that is being considered for the role such as Jordan Sparks, Willow Smith, Meagan Good, Brandy, and Rihanna. For one, Jordan Sparks looks nothing like Whitney or neither does she remind me of Whitney, so if she is being considered I don't know why? I have nothing against her just saying. Willow Smith that kind of makes sense, I think she would do well playing a young Whitney Houston in the biopic. As for Meagan Good she beautiful and she does have decent acting skills but she would be the last person in my mind that I would think to play Whitney Houston, she looks nothing like her as well as Rihanna and Brandy but as least for Brandy she knew her, they did a movie so, I would be confident that she would definitely remind me of Whitney. See where I am coming from, I feel like if you are going to do a biopic, have someone that looks or has a look that reminds you of the person. As well the attitude, and or personality that reminds you of the person; that is what I would look for in an ideal actor or actress for a biopic. Angela Bassett was the only actress I could think of that has done a biopic and not look like that actress she is portraying but does a phenomenal job at portraying the character and the difference with her and some of the actresses they considered for Whitney Houston’s biopic, is that she is a phenomenal actress and although she does not look like Tina Turner whom she portrayed, did a great job in her performance. If they cannot find an actress that looks and acts like Whitney; get an actress that can play her so well that the look would not matter too much, and if I were to choose an actress that fits that idea it would be Brandy. So, in my opinion Paula Patton or Brandy Norwood should play the role of Whitney Houston. I would also like to add that since Clive Davis had a very close relationship with Whitney. I am sure he will choose the right actress.
