Bobo

Lance Gross

    Lance Gross is a great actor to play Bobo's character in the play,"A Raisin In The Sun." This is because both of these men are goal oriented. In the show "Tyler Perry's House of Payne," Lance Gross's character looks for ways to make money and is willing to try something new, just like Bobo. Furthermore, they take great risks to attempt to achieve what they want in their life. When Bobo says, "Could I please get a drink of water, before I tell you about it, Walter Lee?," he reminds me of Lance Gross's character. The character that Lance Gross plays is always getting into some sort of trouble. The hardest part is when he has to talk to someone about it because he knows he will be in greater trouble. So when Bobo had trouble telling Walter Lee that "the man" ran away with their money, he seemed similar to Lance Gross's character. 

Karl Lindner

                                                Jon Cryer
    Jon Cryer is the perfect actor to play Karl Lindner's part in the play, "A Raisin In The Sun." Both men are similar to each other in that they are both quiet-looking men. Also, they both seem  of middle class and dress the part too. In the play Karl Lindner says, "...go around and see the new people who move into the neighborhood and sort of give them the lowdown on the way we do things out in Clybourne Park." This statement reminds me a lot of Jon Cryer's character in the show, "Two And A Half Men." Jon Cryer is uptight just like Karl Lindner and they are both afraid of a new change. Furthermore, both men seem to appreciate a routine and do not react well when it is challenged.

George Murchison

Blair Underwood

   The perfect actor to play George Murchison's actor is Blair Underwood. This is because both are young gentle men and do not know how to be themselves. The fact that they have money makes them act as if they own the world. In the play, "A Raisin In The Sun," George says, "Look honey, we're going to the theater- we're not going to be in it ... so go change, huh?"This statement reveals that he is embarrassed of Beneatha's natural look. This is similar to Blair Underwood's character in the movie, "Maddea's Family Reunion." His character in the movie was very embarrassed of his fiance and he had specific standards for her, just like George Murchison.

Joseph Asagai

Jaleel White

  An actor who can play Joseph Asagai's character in the play,"A Raisin In The Sun," is Jaleel White. Jaleel White's character in the show "Family Matters," is very similar to that of Joseph Asaigi's. Both are young men who are very sophisticated. They know what they are talking about and are very proud and honored by normal and natural things. Furthermore, Jaleel White is perfect for Joseph Asagai's character because he knows how to treat a lady and make her happy. He does not judge others based on their money nor does he think that it determines who has class and who does not. 

Walter Lee Younger

Terry Crews

    The character that Terry Crews plays in the show "Everybody Hates Chris," reminds me of Walter Lee Younger's character. The two appear very similar when Walter Lee Younger says, "...Running and racing to work... ." Walter's mind is always revolving around money and work. All he really wants is to make a decent living for his family and mayeb push up his social status. He is tired of living low class and wants to ahead for once in his life. This is just like Terry Crews character in "Everybody Hates Chris," because he works two jobs and they still seem not to get too much ahead. All he talks about are ways to save money and possible eays ways to make it, just like Walter Lee Younger

Travis Younger

                                                          Tequan Richmond
   Tequan Richmond would be a perfect fit to play Travis Younger's character. This is because in the show "Everybody Hates Chris," he is a young boy who gets excited about money. When Travis Younger says, "Could I maybe go carry some groceries in front of the supermarket for alittle while after school then?," he reminds me of Tequan Richmond's character. They both talk a lot about money and sure know about to get it one way or another. Travis wanted fifty cent for school so he kept nagging till he finally got it from his father. This is similar to when a neighbor owed Tequans character some money, he kept harssing him everyday through the night till he got his money back. Both characters are very well disciplined and respectful. They follow orders for the most part and liek to have fun.

Beneatha Younger

Tia Mowry

   Tia Mowry would be a perfect fit to play Beneatha Younger's role. This is because her character from "The Game"is very similar to that of Beneatha's. They are both young women, slim and pretty. They are also both educated and studying to become doctors. When Beneatha Younger says, "I have never asked anyone around here to do anything for me!," she reminds me of Tia Mowry's character in the show "The Game." They both like to think of themselves as independent but in reality they both need their families. These two women not only need their families for courage and emotional support, they need their families for financial assistance towards their tuition.

Lena Younger

                                                                Cassi Davis
   The character Cassi Davis plays in the show, "Tyler Perry's House of Payne," reminds me a lot of Lena Younger's character.  Cassi Davis is a good actor to play Lena Younger's part because she is very spirtual. In the show she is an honorable woman who takes care of her family to the best of her ability. She also has a strong belief in her religion and allows it to guide her through her problems, just like Lena Younger. Cassi Davis can play Lena Younger's role at best if she was made a bit older looking with possibly white hair to reveal more of her age. When Lena Younger says, "Lord, child, don't you know what to do with yourself?," she reminds me of Cassi Davis because they say the word "Lord" a lot. Also, both characters are woman who have lots of inner strength.

Ruth Younger

Tichina Arnold

        When Ruth Younger says, "I say hurry up, Travis! You ain't the only person in the world got to use a bathroom!", she definitely reminds me of Tichina Arnold. I think Tichina Arnold would be perfect to play Ruth's character because she is both an excellent house wife and worker in the show "Everybody Hates Chris." Furthermore, she is nice but agressive when she needs to be. When Ruth becomes agressive she reminds me of Ticina Arnold's chanracter in "Everybody Hates Chris." This is because her character in that show is very threatening towards her children. They are similar in my eyes when Ruth says something like, "You better get up from there, man!" and Tichina Arnold's character says something like "I will knock you into last night!" Both characters are young, pretty woman who are trying to hold the house together.
