Jamie Foxx: Lawrence Taylor Is The Sports Bio-Pic Movie Role I Would Love To Play
|
Posted By: How May I Help You NC on September 10, 2014 Written by: ThePostGame Staff Jamie Foxx set the standard for portraying a star in a bio-pic with his Oscar-winning performance as Ray Charles in the 2004 hit Ray. Now Foxx has been cast to play Mike Tyson in a bio-pic that is projected to start production within a year to 18 months. But the athlete he would really love to portray is NFL Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor. The ferocious Giants linebacker changed the game with his defensive dominance while his life off the field included drug abuse, jail and outrageous sexual encounters, one of which led to a criminal charge. "I'm not big enough, but I think the story of Lawrence Taylor is amazing," Foxx told ThePostGame. "Lawrence Taylor was a guy who absolutely revolutionized his position. And his life -- how tragic it was. The backstory of what he was going through." Foxx said he got to know Taylor when both were working in Oliver Stone's 1999 football movie Any Given Sunday. "He was an amazing force, an amazing character," Foxx said of Taylor. Continued: http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/men-action...
