Cheadle is 5'8 compared to Howard's 6'0. Cheadle also just comes off as having a smaller build. I know he was just in that spy/terrorist movie where he played or marine or something, but, while he is a better actor, he just doesn't fit the role. For some reason, when I try to think of Cheadel, Tim Meadows first pops in my head - and I'm just not as intimidated by the Lady's Man as I should be of Rhodey.

To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, October 15, 2008, 10:14 AM I'm of the opinion that Cheadle can play any role re set his mind to. And in all honesty he and Howard are not all that different body type wise. If you are going to use the argument that Rhoedy should be buff than Howard wouldn't have made a good choice either. You know who would have made a great Rhodey years ago? Michael Dorn. Seriously.

See, this is why you need to get the contracts done right upfront. (that's what I do for a living ;)I can understand maybe why they couldn't get RDJ to sign for multiples, but even after all this posting, I can't remember the actors name other than something Howard. And even with RDJ, he hadn't done a jack in major movie in 10 years. He too should have been begging to sign-on for multiples. Heck, there is a rumor that the Watchmen cast had to sign on for sequels! And they said it came down to 'financual issues'?!?! The movie made over $500M! I'm not blaming the company, I'm blaming this moron for not taking a major role in a guaranteed money maker. And Don Cheedle is cheaper!?!? I'm thinking he's just not a moron. Maybe Howard was a really a douche on set and nobody wanted to work with him again; so, they said 'financial issues' to try to make it look better. -- This post/e-mail was written by Michael Bailey, Superman Apologist Hey, I have a podcast http://www.viewsfromthelongbox.com Hey, I have a comic book blog. http://www.fortressofbaileytude.com Hey, I'm on the Unique Geek http://www.theuniquegeek.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Unique Geek" group.
