the studio figured he had too many tattoos, thats why he didnt get to be Bubba.

he would have been sweet in Higher Learning and Menace II Society.

and Lol with OJ Simpson considered for the lead role in Terminator.

O.J. Simpson in The Terminator?

Passed over for the role of the terminator because producers feared he wouldn't be taken seriously as a killer.

Lmfao, now thats funny.


Sylvester Stallone in Star Wars?
Sammy Davis Jr. in Beetlejuice?

Those two would have been just plain bizarre.

i don't think he auditioned for it. he just read the script but i don't think he actually tried out for the part. that was during the time he was going through so much legal shit so i doubt he would have had any shot at the role cause of that.

 

[yak pac fatal]

lol nice find

 

[Kadafi Son]

he was readin for the roll of bubba?

 

[Preach]

yes, i actually knew about this.

if you remember, all the old sites used to have a main section and a pac section, and in the pac sections there was ALWAYS a section called "rare facts" or something. and it used to be listed in there. i wonder if he actually did an audtition.

 

[masta247]

Yeah I remember that. He didn't make an audition tho. From what I remember he was arrested at that time and they had to find someone else.

 

[Casey]

Ice Cube auditioned for part of Bubba also.
