He could probably get some awards. I always thought he looked quite a bit like Hines.

Yeah, he does look similar. But who would want to produce a biopic of Gregory Hines? I am not knocking him when I say that, as I like many of his films, but he never gained any kind of recognition or has a lasting legacy that screams for a biopic to be made.

I agree with you in principal, but in the event that Hines is a supporting character in a biopic on somebody else, he'd still be great in the role.

Two words, two syllables per word, three letters per syllable.
Walter Payton.
He's got it down. He has the same mustache, the EXACT same voice, and once he builds up his physique just a bit, he'll have it spot on.

About the Walter Payton idea: forgive me, but "Sweetness" was much more attractive than Jaleel. Payton had that kind of "young Eddie Murphy" level of handsomeness and high energy.

Jaleel has the, um, same puffy eyes as Gregory. Gregory's thing was tap dancing more than acting, I think.
Will have to think about the Richard Pryor thing - I don't see any resemblance there at all.
