Would've rathered Michael K. Williams or Idris Elba at the worst but I could live with this. Even though I don't like him as a person he is a much better actor than the fresh prince so he has that going for him.

Jamie Foxx confirmed for lead in Quentin Tarantino's 'Django Unchained'
Jamie Foxx has been confirmed to play the lead in Quentin Tarantino's forthcoming western Django Unchained.
The actor and singer held final talks last week, and has now been announced to star as Django in film, having apparently beaten off competition from Idris Elba and Will Smith to emerge as director Tarantino's first choice.
Asked what he was most looking forward to about the project, Foxx told CNN: "I think, just to be able to work with Quentin Tarantino and Samuel L Jackson, Leonardo DiCaprio, and to be able to tell a story that needs to be told."
"If you’re a fan of Inglourious Basterds, I mean, you know... it's just amazing. It should be amazing."
DiCaprio has been reported to play a plantation boss who holds Django's wife captive. Django Unchained is pencilled in for a release on Christmas Day 2012.
The release date can still change a bit but I doubt they'll get into each other's way. Different movies aimed at different audiences.
Fresh Prince is going to regret not doing this. Even when his own people were begging him to take the role cause the script is THAT good apparently. It's a role that if nailed will get the actor at least an oscar nod guaranteed. I'm glad he didn't take it though and everybody knew he wasn't gonna but he's gonna regret it. If Jaime plays it right; no hyperbole, he could be looking at another oscar with this joint.
I get the feeing Will Smith lost his balls somewhere after Six Degress Of Seperation, definitely right around Independence Day. Then again, at least we don't have Tom Cruise trying to "improve" a Tarantino script for his buddy.
