The funny/commanding plea cop is even better. That eliminates 90% of ALL actors. And one of the two black leading men made his film debut by playing a gay guy and built his fan base as a funny pretty boy. Thanks for playing.

Oh please. That's like saying Brad Pitt isn't a pretty boy because he played Tyler Durden.

Yes it could have. Make Bourne with Wesley Snipes and it still would have worked. Hell, I honestly don't think Bourne is that far off from Smith's character in I Am Legend.
