Okay.
I have the book in front of me.
There have been some great suggestions.
This is a FULL cast, includes all roles that are even MENTIONED in the book.
Joe Wilson is not in the book.
And if I hear Omarosa one more time ... I'll give you people actionable intelligence.
No one has pitched anything better than Bassett for Rice. If Wanda Sykes can do serious, she might be better, but I don't think she can do Rice deadpan.
