Michael Jai White for Gary Coleman Biopic?

On a recent post on local area celebrity Amanda Talar’s Times Union Blog, the question of casting various roles in biopics of recently deceased celebrities. One such celebrity was Gary Coleman. Knowing that everyone would be looking for someone of small stature to fulfill such a role, I thought outside of the box. I jokingly said “Michael Jai White.”

Further thought into this has revealed, in my mind, that Michael Jai White would be perfect as he has the intensity to capture the role. If you don’t believe me, watch Black Dynamite or The Dark Knight and then talk to me.
