RibbieRubarb Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) Looks like Brad Pitt and Steven Soderbergh are going to bring the Billy Beane story to the screen. Who would you have play Beane and who would play Kenny Williams?? They got to have KW in there. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/40012 Edited February 6, 2009 by RibbieRubarb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Nathan Lane to play Beane and Dave Chappelle to play KW(just for entertainment purposes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Jeffrey Wright for KW. Or maybe Chiwetel Elijiafor (butchered spelling I'm sure). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Norm MacDonald plays Beane and Aries Spears is KW in my Moneyball movie. If they're not available, David Spade is Beane and David Allan Grier is Kenny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think you can do this s***.... You think you can do this to me? You motherf***ers will be covering baseball in Pelican Bay when I get finished with you. I'm the man up in this piece. You'll never see the light of... who the f*** do you think you're f***ing with? I'm the GM, I run s*** around here. You just live here. Yeah, that's right, you better walk away.

CanOfCorn Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 If you want a tirade...it's GOT to be Samuel L. Jackson. Hands down. I know he's too old to play Kenny, but nobody does a tirade like the "L." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I think this is kind of racist, thinking a black guy has to play kenny williams. I mean, it's 2009 guys, we have a BLACK president. You guys are living in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSqwert Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Out of work Juan Uribe as KW. LOL. I love Juan's voice. It's like he sucks helium right before he talks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
