"They used to call me Baby Luke....but now? The whole damn 2 Liiiive Crew."

Basically any character the nigga Don Cheadle's played in a movie

Your typing ain't as "incendiary" as you think it is.

just for folk who may not know

great pics by the way

Though technically loved the character before the movie and was just really pleased with Cheadle's portrayal.

Also Danny Glover and Charles S. Dutton have some of my favorite interactions in Honeydripper.

Thats the modus operandi of a leading man actor which is what Denzel is, shrug... Sean Connery, George Clooney, Ben Affleck, Daniel Craig, Gerard Butler, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise are no different.

All the Denzel Characters
Chiwetel in "Serenity" and "Children of Men"
Hancock (yes, I liked Hancock)
Django
Cheadle in "Reign Over Me"

is it because we read all the Walter Mosley books and we grew to love Mouse...and then when we saw how Don Cheadle played him, it matched what we saw in our mind's eye while reading the books?

i wonder if anybody who never read the books would have watched Devil in a Blue Dress and walked away feeling like Mouse was anything special...

I think it's hard to pull off a stone cold killer who is funny and comes off human. Cheadle nailed it. Dude was a pyschopath that you'd want to have drinks with and be your homey.

Mouse is that random half man / half legend person that we all have somewhere in our lives...the person who lives totally in the moment without fear. Easy is a calculating, thoughtful man; Mouse is essentially Easy's ego, the man he actually is but doesn't want to cop to being.
