A Different World 2004
 

If you were in charge of casting for this show who would you have play the following characters:

Whitley
Dwayne
Ron
Freddie
Jalisa
Kim

*feel free to add people I left out*

Re: A Different World 2004
 

I think Spirit from One on One would make a good Freddie.

dwayne could be played by deon what's his face, the guy that played Kenny

ron should be omar gooding

this is a hard question

:cool: topic let me think though because this is not as easy as I thought.

I don't know who could be up to date fill ins, but I do watch it before class everyday on oxygen!!!!!! :D

Hmmm
 

I tried to start this topic on another group, but I went with Good Times. Folks completely ignored it.....lol

Ron= the guy who plays in The Parkers, the young guy
Whitley= The girl who plays in the sister show that follows Girlfriends, the younger sister
Freddie= the older sister from the same show
Kim=Raven(not the same complexion, but I see her in that role)
Jalisa= Toni from Girlfriends
Dwayne= The guy who played Moishas best friend
As you can see I don't know names

Soror Special 1920, do you mean the guy who played Hakeem? That would be Lamar Bentley..he might work...

CT4: I agree.. I'm used to seeing those people in those roles.

Ron:Nick Cannon
Dwayne: Jason Weaver
Whitley: Stacy Dash (yes she is ridiculously old)
Kim: Melinda Williams
Freddie: the girl from "Half and Half"

What I have come up with so far. . .

Ron: Nick Cannon (good pick Epitome) or Robert Richard (Arnez on One on One but I remember him from Cousin Skeeter, lol)

Freddie: Rachel True (Mona from 1/2 and 1/2)

Jaleesa: Sanaa Lathan

Oh yeah Sanaa!

It would be great if they did a reunion show...

I meant a good Kim :(

Re: Re: Re: A Different World 2004
 

Yeah she would.

Do you all know where we first saw Sicily BKA Spirit? How Stella Got Her Groove Back as Stella's niece, she played Regina King's character's daughter? :cool:

Okay here's my list:

Mr. Gaines - Charles S. Dutton
Col. Taylor - Denzel Washington :)
Whitley - Essence Atkins but I like Stacey Dash too
Dwayne - Taye Diggs... just cause I wouldn't mind watching a few episodes with him in it
Ron - Dave Chappelle... just cause his show is funny as heck
Kim - Spirit
Freedie - I agree with Rachel True (Mona)

ETA: Jaleesa - Vanessa Bell Calloway

Edited Again to Change Col. Sander to Col. Taylor. I just got shamed so I had to go change it.

Funny you should say this - remember the episode where she played Jaleesa's sister?

I don't remember it but that's probably where I got it from.

Bwahahahahahaha Col. Sanders is the KFC man. Col. Taylor is from A Different World. :cool:


<-------- watching A Different World right now

Essence Atkins would make a good Whitley since she annoys the dog crap out of me on Half and Half anyway.

CTFU @ Col. Sanders.

:( :( :( :( :( Yeah, that's what I meant.

I'm so embarrassed. :(

I would love to see a "second generation" of this show.......esp. if they get me some Denzel [that's my baby daddy, he just don't know it yet ;)]

It's okay (((((neosoulchild))))) :D

He can't be your babbies daddy because Whitley had a love child by him!:p

What about Denise and the Marisa Tomei character? They were part of the show too. Then there was Terrence as well as Jada's character.

Or are we just doing the main cast?

Good point. I could see Jason Weaver as Terrence.
Marisa Tomei ....the chick who was on the Parkers...Jenna Van Oy?
Denise...that's a tough one.

Denise is hard role to fill. I was trying to figure it out myself. Jenna Van Oy would be good choice for the Marisa Tomei character.

Persia White for Denise
